Segmental Retaining Walls (SRWs): Engineering Solutions for Lateral Soil Support

Are you looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition in the hardscapes industry? Are you in need of new methods and solutions that can help you build more durable and safe retaining walls? We have the perfect course for you! On May 11th at 12 pm, Techo-Bloc will be offering a Segmental Retaining Walls Course focused on Engineering Solutions for Lateral Soil Support. Our Segmental Retaining Walls Course is ideal for contractors and architects who are looking to stay up-to-date with industry trends and learn about new engineering solutions for lateral soil support. 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Recall the two types of SRWs and explain how each SRW

component contributes to a durable and safe design.

• Discuss the advantages SRWs have over other retaining

wall systems.

• Outline the design considerations relating to the geogrid,

drainage, wall batter, embedment depth, slopes, swales,

utilities, and more.

• summarize at least five reasons why SRWs can fail and

apply that knowledge when specifying an SRW design.
