A support member for elevating a retaining wall panel includes a base arrangement with a first area that engages an underlying mounting surface. A height elevating section extends from the base arrangement to a third area. The height elevating section has a receiving area configured to connect to a wall panel. A sloped surface extends between the base arrangement proximate the first area and the height elevating section proximate to the third area. The sloped surface is configured to support a load bearing panel.

A retaining wall system includes a face panel having a first end beam and a second end beam extending in parallel to the first end beam. The face panel extends a height defined from the first end beam to the second end beam when the face panel is oriented in an upright position. The face panel further includes a backfill side and is configured to retain a backfill material on the backfill side of the face panel. The retaining wall system further includes a support leg having a bracket for receiving the first end beam therein and an extension platform transversely oriented to the height of the face panel when the first end beam is received within the bracket. The extension platform extends away from the bracket and is configured to anchor the face panel in the upright position.

The present invention relates to a pile foundation including: a pile that extends in a vertical direction, and whose pile head protrudes above the ground, and that supports a tower-type structure, and ribs that are provided at the pile in a vicinity of a surface of the ground, and that protrude outwardly in radial directions from an outer circumferential surface of the pile.

A hydraulic jack expansion-type rotary penetration device for a circular pipe comprises: a rotating head which receives torque from the outside; one or more hollow shafts arranged in series downward along the central axis of the rotating head; shaft-connection socket which interconnect the first hollow shaft which is connected to the rotating head with the remaining adjacent hollow shafts, to thereby transmit the torque of the rotating head; and one or more clamp modules which are installed in the hollow shafts and pressed against the inner surface of the circular pipe by hydraulic pressure generated in the rotating head to thereby generate clamping force.

Geosynthetic reinforced wall panels comprising soil reinforcing hoop members and retaining wall system formed therewith is disclosed. Namely, a geosynthetic panel wall system is provided that includes at least one concrete facing panel that has at least one stabilizing hoop coupled thereto and wherein a soil reinforcing element or strip may be coupled to the stabilizing hoop. Additionally, a method of using the presently disclosed geosynthetic panel wall system reinforced with at least one stabilizing hoop and soil reinforcing element is provided.

A bracing assembly for a geosynthetic wrapped system is provided. The bracing assembly includes a standing brace bar, a bottom brace bar, and a cross brace bar having different configurations to facilitate both easy and mistake free assembly of the bracing assembly. Furthermore, the standing brace bar and the bottom brace bar include guide tips that are sized and shaped to direct insertion of the standing brace bar and the bottom brace bar respectively into a weave of a geotextile fabric material such that a first connector of the bottom brace bar and a first connection slot of the standing brace bar are aligned together and with a fold line of the geotextile fabric material.

The invention relates to an anchor cage for a foundation of a wind turbine with at least one lower abutment, with at least one upper abutment, with at least one vertical connecting element between the at least one lower abutment and the at least one upper abutment, with at least one element for introducing a prestress into the at least one vertical connecting element. It is provided that the at least one lower abutment and/or the at least one upper abutment is formed by at least two abutment segments arranged one above the other, and that at least one of the two abutment segments is composed of at least two abutment elements.

A seawall is supported on a seabed along a coastline using a plurality of screw piles, each having a shaft and a helical flight about the shaft adjacent a bottom end of the shaft. The screw piles are penetrated into the seabed at spaced apart positions along the coastline such that each screw pile defines a lower portion embedded into the seabed and an upper portion protruding upwardly from the seabed. A plurality of modular wall panels, each formed of concrete material and having post apertures at opposing ends thereof, are each mounted onto two adjacent ones of the screw piles by inserting the upper portions of the screw piles into the post apertures at the opposing ends of the wall panel such that the wall panels are connected in series with one another along the coastline.
