Applications
Poundfield’s Brick Faced Wall Panel is designed to provide a fast and economical solution to retaining wall problems. Using a unique prestressed Brick-Faced Concrete Wall Panel in conjunction with Poundfield’s L Bloc®, retaining walls of up to 1.8m high per section can be achieved with insitu bases
required at only 6.0m centres.

Designed in accordance with BS8110 (Structural Use of Concrete) and BS 8002 (Earth Retaining Structures) and manufactured from high strength C60 concrete, the units provide excellent durability against most exposure conditions (up to severe conditions as defined in BS 8110).

Design Assumptions
The walls have been designed to retain a well-drained material with a bulk density of 16 KN/m3 and internal angle of friction of 350. It has also been assumed that the fill is level with the top of the wall and that a maximum surcharge load of 10 KN/m3 is imposed at this level.

All connection between the various components are made with grade 304 stainless steel bolts to ensure long term performance.

Ground Conditions
The wall panel and the stabilising L Bloc must be placed on insitu concrete bases provided at 6.0m centres. The size of the base to be provided is dependent on site-specific ground conditions and should be verified by a qualified engineer. An indication of the base sizes and requirements is given in the table below.

In all conditions it is assumed that the load bearing strata is well-drained and that the back of the wall is backfilled with a granular material.
