Galvanized wire gabion mesh protection process and advantages of retaining wall

Galvanized wire gabion mesh protection process

With retaining walls built by cages and protective slopes laid, the fillers in the cages are loose bodies with more pores, which facilitates the drainage of pore water in the soil layers under the backfills and slopes of the masonry, and surface waters. Once infiltrated into the soil body, the quicker discharge of the masonry can be used, effectively reducing the groundwater level, thereby reducing the groundwater pressure behind the wall and below the slope. Green Grid Structure In landslide control and debris flow prevention and control projects, the timely discharge of water reduces the probability of wall damage. At the same time, the wall's good deformability can effectively buffer the sudden impact of external forces.

Shijiazhuang retaining wall advantages:

Environmental protection is one of China’s basic national policies. The retaining wall project also needs to be coordinated with the natural environment as much as possible to improve the environmental quality of the highway. Because the gabion mesh retaining wall has a large porosity (20 % to 30 %), it is not necessary to provide drainage holes, and expansion joints and settlement joints can also be simply laid. Compared with other types of retaining walls, gabion retaining walls have the advantages of good ecological properties, low cost, and ability to withstand large deformations without damage.

Although the gabion mesh retaining wall has many advantages compared with other types of retaining walls, the construction site should be selected in a region rich in stone materials, and the stone particle size, strength, and weathering degree must meet the requirements. If the stone is transported at a long distance, it will increase the cost. Under the condition of technical feasibility, it should be economically compared with the retaining walls of other structural forms.
