Observation of Remedial Works on Failed RC Wall with Innovative EC Geoblock Gravity Retaining Wall

The paper presents an overview of the construction of a novel EC Geoblock gravity retaining wall intended as a restorative measure to repair a collapsed reinforced concrete (RC) wall. The construction process, including site preparation, pad levelling, block installation, backfilling, and final finishing, is thoroughly covered in the article. This article aims to demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency and swift implementation of remedial works on collapsed RC wall. The gravity wall's distinctive design elements, which improve its cost efficiency, structural integrity and drainage ability are highlighted. The study also examines the benefits of this novel approach over conventional RC walls, including its shorter construction time and environmental friendliness. By offering a novel construction idea, this ground-breaking block design promotes sustainable development and helps achieve SDG 9: and SDG 11. Moreover, the post project checks on the deflection are less than 10mm which further showed the structural soundness of the novel EC Geoblock gravity retaining wall.

Abstract

The paper presents an overview of the construction of a novel EC Geoblock gravity retaining wall intended as a restorative measure to repair a collapsed reinforced concrete (RC) wall. The construction process, including site preparation, pad levelling, block installation, backfilling, and final finishing, is thoroughly covered in the article. This article aims to demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency and swift implementation of remedial works on collapsed RC wall. The gravity wall's distinctive design elements, which improve its cost efficiency, structural integrity and drainage ability are highlighted. The study also examines the benefits of this novel approach over conventional RC walls, including its shorter construction time and environmental friendliness. By offering a novel construction idea, this ground-breaking block design promotes sustainable development and helps achieve SDG 9: and SDG 11. Moreover, the post project checks on the deflection are less than 10mm which further showed the structural soundness of the novel EC Geoblock gravity retaining wall.
