Soil and/or water-retaining wall; method for forming this soil and/or water-retaining wall; and forming mould suitable for use with this method
Abstract
Abstract The invention relates in the first place to a soil and/or water-retaining wall. In accordance with the invention this wall is composed of at least partially prefabricated load-bearing uprights and intervening curved shells, formed in the soil of concrete or similar hardenable material, which connect on both sides in jointless fashion to the uprights. The invention furthermore comprises a method for the formation of this soil and/or water-retaining wall. According to this method prefabricated uprights are introduced into the soil at a distance from each other, whereafter, for the formation in the soil of an intervening curved shell, a forming mould is introduced into the soil between consecutive uprights and is subsequently withdrawn again, whereby during this withdrawal a mortar is fed into the cavity underneath the mould and fills this cavity. Finally the invention comprises a forming mould suitable for use with this method. This mould has such dimensions that the same is introduced between the uprights with a clamping fit.
