EXCAVATION

Lay out the location and length of the wall. If possible always start the wall base as the lowest elevation of the wall. Set wall elevations using a laser level and stakes prior to excavating; due to the size of the Stone Strong unit this method will increase efficiency.

Excavate as required for installation of the retaining wall system. Use caution not to over-exca-vate beyond depth needed for the foundation.

Slope or shore excavation as necessary for safety and for conformance with applicable OSHA requirements.

FOUNDATION PREPARATION

Foundation soils shall be excavated as required for wall base to the dimensions shown on the plans. Foundation soil shall be observed by the

Geotechnical Engineer to confirm that the bear-ing soils are similar to the design conditions or assumptions.

Foundation soil shall be proof rolled and com-pacted a minimum of 95 percent of the maxi-mum dry density (ASTM D 698, Standard

Proctor) and inspected by the Owner’s Engineer prior to placement of leveling pad materials. The contractor shall replace any unsuitable soils discovered during excavation at the direction of the engineer.

WALL BASE CONSTRUCTION

WALL BASE CONSTRUCTION cont.

Compact the wall base to provide a hard and level surface to support the Stone Strong unit.

Base material shall be compacted to a mini-mum of 95 percent of the maximum dry density

(ASTM D 698, Standard Proctor).

Prepare and smooth the granular material to ensure complete contact of the first course with the wall base. The surface of granular base may be dressed with finer aggregate to aid lev-eling, provided that the thickness of dressing layer should not exceed 3 times the maximum particle size used.

Concrete may be placed full thickness or as a topping to level the base. If used as a topping, the concrete shall have a minimum thickness of 3 inches.

It is important to ensure that the wall base has proper drainage. Consult with the engineer if added drainage is needed.

WALL UNIT INSTALLATION

First Course

Place the first course of Stone Strong unit directly on the wall base (see detail 1). If possible, begin placing Stone Strong unit at the lowest section of the wall. The unit shall be leveled side- to-side, front-to-rear and with adjacent unit. Ensure those Stone

Strong units are in full contact with the compacted base. Adjacent unit should be in contact. The first course is the most im-portant to ensure accurate and acceptable results. Leveling should be done by means of a 10 foot level across the top of the unit.

Subsequent Courses

Remove all excess aggregate and other materials from the top of the unit before laying up the next course.

Place the next course of segmental unit in running bond with the previous course. Place the web notch over the alignment hoop protruding from the unit below, and pull the unit forward to contact the hoop. This alignment will produce a batter of 2 inches for every 18 inches of verti-cal wall height. Check the unit for level and alignment.

The layout of radius and corners shall be installed in accordance with the plans or shop drawings.

See radius tables, in-cluded at the end of this manual.

Continue placing succes-sive courses to the eleva-tions shown on the plans.

Construct wall in level stages, placing the unit at each course for the entire length of the wall, if pos-sible. Unit fill and backfill should be placed to the level of the top of the fac-ing unit before placing the next course. To step the top of the wall see detail 5 and 5a.

Provide temporary swales to divert runoff away from wall excavation and away from face during the con-struction phase.

Install the Stone Strong top unit. Place unit fill and backfill level with the back face of the unit.

Glossary

Backfill - Earth or other material place between a retaining wall and existing ground.

Base Course - The first course to be installed. It may be totally or partially buried.

Base Material - A base pad of lean concrete with 228-day compressive strength of 3,000 psi or a free draining granular material compacted and leveled to receive the base course.

Contractor – The organization or individual that contracts with another organization or individ-ual (the owner) for the construction of the retaining wall.

Engineer – The owners designated organization or individual with authoritative charge over engineering functions and responsibilities.

Foundation Soil - Soil zone immediately beneath the retaining wall unit, the wall leveling pad and the reinforced soil zone. It is important that it is sufficiently strong and that it will not con-solidate. Any fill in the foundation soil must be compacted as structural fill.

Granular unit fill - Is defined as a free draining aggregate material which is small enough (3/4” to 1-1/2” minus material) to easily fill unit cores and the gaps between unit while containing minimal fine material (sands and silts) that could pipe through wall joints from occasional water flow.

Owner – The owner of the project for whom a contract has been made for the payment for the work performed under the terms of the contract.

Wall base - A gravel or concrete pad installed to create a level horizontal surface for wall con-struction.

Shop Drawings - is a drawing or set of drawings produced by the supplier to show details of installations for the contractor

Soil compaction - Proper placement and compaction of soils is essential to the successful performance of retaining wall structures. Soils must be compacted in lifts to achieve maximum soil shear strength and validate the design.

Stone Strong Dealer – Stone Strong representative available to provide technical assistance to the contractor, engineer or owner. Stone Strong dealer will supply the stone strong units for the construction of the wall. The dealer may also be requested to provide shop drawings for the installation of the wall.
