A triangle unit assembly block comprises a body portion comprising mutually facing first and second side surfaces and mutually facing third and fourth side surfaces between a upper surface and a lower surface; a first fastening protrusion formed on the first side surface of the body portion; a second fastening protrusion formed on the second side surface of the body portion; a first fastening groove formed on the third side surface of the body portion; and a second fastening groove formed on the fourth side surface of the body portion, wherein the first and second fastening protrusions are disposed to correspond to each other and protrude in mutually opposite directions, and the first and second fastening grooves are disposed to be misaligned with one another to be concave in mutually facing directions.

A building element for coupling with other building elements to erect a retaining wall. Optionally, the building element can have a modular construction. The building element can have a face panel and a beam member that extends substantially perpendicularly relative to the face panel. The building elements can have a variety of different configurations, providing flexibility in the design of retaining walls. Optionally, each building element can define alignment voids that receive portions of alignment posts for ensuring vertical alignment between adjacent building elements or portions of building elements.

Disclosed is a device for containing granular elements, comprising a metal mesh panel having metal wires welded together, the panel comprising at least one curvature of a first orientation and at least one curvature of a second orientation, the first orientation being characterized by a first axis and the second orientation being characterized by a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being non-collinear.

A method of forming simulated stone or brick column or a retaining wall is made up of rows of masonry blocks of generally trapezoidal configuration arranged in end-to-end relation to one another in each row, each block including a recessed portion being aligned with one another in each row and each block having textured wall surfaces simulating the appearance of brick or stone along one or more wall surfaces arranged in different configurations without the necessity of interlocking the blocks together.

An integral geogrid includes a plurality of interconnected, oriented strands having an array of openings therein that is produced from a coextruded multilayer polymer sheet starting material. By virtue of the construction, the coextruded multilayer sheet components provide a crystalline synergistic effect during extrusion and orientation of the integral geogrid, resulting in enhanced material properties that provide performance benefits to use of the integral geogrid in soil geosynthetic reinforcement.

A caisson or casing 107 for installing a sheet 102/103 into a ground or underwater location, the caisson 107 having a shaped wall 107.1, which is open for a predetermined length and is adapted to receive and connect to an excavation means 3 within the confines of the caisson or casing 107. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a drilling assembly 3 for insertion of a caisson or casing 1, the drilling assembly 3 having one or more expanding drill bits 4 which are adapted to be driven by a drilling or rotation motive device 5, the expanding drill bits 4 being adapted to be arranged with respect to the caisson or casing 1 in use, so as form a hole or bore which substantially conforms to, or substantially overlaps with, the shape of the caisson or casing 1.

The present disclosure provides a method of systematic protection and utilization of hill resources, and relates to the field of protection and utilization of hill resources. The method of systematic protection and utilization method of the hill resources comprises a hill resource protection method and a hill resource utilization method. The hill resource protection method comprises a prevention and control method for geological disasters such as landslide, debris flow, water and soil loss, fire disasters and/or desertification caused by earthquakes, rainstorms and/or drought and the like, and a prevention and control method for continuous weathering of mountain rocks; and the hill resource utilization method is a method for utilizing available resources generated based on the protection. According to the method of systematic protection and utilization for hill resources, a foundation for utilizing the hill resources is built by protecting the hill resources, with protection and utilization integrated. Compared with existing methods, the method provided by the present disclosure not only can prevent and control natural disasters, protect the hill resources and prevent water and soil loss, but also can efficiently utilize water and soil resources, increase the output value, relieve the cultivated land pressure and promote industrial layout adjustment.

A wall sinking construction method comprises retaining structures are first formed on two sides, corresponding to a groove body, of the wall body; then a section of wall body of a certain height is produced on the ground, and jacks and a supporting pile body are installed on the two sides of the bottom of the wall body that is supported by the jacks and the supporting pile body, the bottom of the wall body is suspended to form an excavation working space with a certain height; an underwater excavator is controlled remotely to excavate rock and soil in the groove body layer by layer; an elastic support having rollers is sandwiched between the retaining structures on the two sides of the wall body and the groove body to transfer and balance rock and soil pressure.
