Retaining Walls in Pasadena CA

About Retaining Walls in Pasadena CA

Pasadena CA Retaining walls are made ​​of concrete, concrete blocks, bricks or stones laid dry or on mortar. Retaining wall loads can be increased by reinforcement rods, nets, components of reinforced concrete or steel. As a result of the forces of gravity the land held by a retaining wall has the horizontal stresses. The stress level is usually the smallest on top and increases with depth to ground level at the base of the retaining wall. The stress level can be further increased by the hydrostatic pressure created by the ground water.
