摘要： A retaining wall system comprised of units having a front planter compartment with a drainage channel, and a rear hydro-drainage compartment. The front planter compartment accepts soil and vegetation therein, and the drainage channel drains water and other fluids from the first compartment into the second compartment to prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up within the front compartment. The rear hydro-drainage compartment is open on its bottom for draining and may be filled with angular gravel or other hydro-drainage aggregate to properly weight units to maintain unit placement. The units contain angle of installation guides that aid in vertically aligning the units to achieve a desired face setback, and angularly aligning the units to achieve a desired angle of repose between layers of units. The units contain horizontal alignment guides to aid in side-to-side unit placement. The units are of a sufficient weight that the unit weight along with the angle of installation guides and horizontal guides reduces unit slippage without the use of interlocking means or mortar. A wall of up to eight feet may be built without the use of geogrid in accordance with the present invention.

摘要翻译： 一种挡土墙系统，包括具有排水通道的前花盆隔室和后排水排水室的单元。 前花盆隔间接受土壤和植被，排水通道将水和其他流体从第一隔间排入第二隔间，以防止静压在前隔间内积聚。 后排水排水室在其底部打开排水，并可填充角砾石或其他水力排水骨料，以适当重量单位以维持单位放置。 这些单元包含有助于垂直对准单元以实现期望的脸部挫折的安装引导件的角度，以及角度地对齐单元以在单元层之间达到期望的休止角度。 这些单元包含水平对齐导轨，以帮助侧面到侧面的单元放置。 这些单元具有足够的重量，单位重量以及安装引导件和水平引导件的角度在不使用互锁装置或砂浆的情况下减少了单元滑移。 根据本发明，可以构建高达八英尺的墙壁而不使用土工格栅。
