Building A Concrete Retaining Wall

We had a concrete retaining wall built. The wall is 18 inches tall and about 120 feet long. There are breaks every 28-30 feet, I was told stress. The wall cracks. I think every 6-8 feet. Is 28-30 feet along a wall without a sort of pause between the two.

Discount Banana Anna decide to break up concrete where he feels. Stress breaks are certainly a long way apart, but if the foot has not been well prepared, it will crack anytime anywhere it feels to be addressed.
they should have put re-bar # 4, 2 each in the lateral and rebar # 4s that all amounts of 4 feet and tied together.
footing should be prepared separately and also with 2 # 4 re-bar side. This gives you a good starting point. If you have a lot of lateral pressure of soil, you may have to put the stabilizers in the wall box and re-bar attached to the wall every 8 feet.
Hard to say what the situation is not there, but a glance you could say he has a bad construction and could give you a remedy.

weight of the CAP could not crack the base, is not that much in comparison, but the cap should have to, either fiberglass or she knits and reinforcing bars according to the thickness of the shell.
Just be there to really get a handle on it, pictures would be nice that they were available. Report Abuse

Yes. I usually put a crack control joint about every 10 feet on a long ... To the guy who made yours was just lazy. Sorry.

My husband says pay thicker with more rebar and you should never stress bars. (Think of the foundation of a house, you do not put them there.) You need a 7.5 "wall and it was good.

I'm in the concrete business and break the stress is not even a real term. Is there rebar in the wall? concrete cracks, it is a fact. Thus they relate, or chasims?
