Let’s go back to Glasgow, 1980. Perimeter retaining structures were identified as a requirement during the design of a new shopping centre in the district of Maryhill, Glasgow. The designers of the scheme chose to use us for these structures as our technique offered a cost saving over what was at the time more traditional methods. This was the first #reinforcedearth bridge abutment to be built in Britain, it was also the first use of high adherence (ribbed) reinforcing strips, which as the name suggests have higher frictional characteristics than smooth strips. During design it was decided that one of the walls would also act as an #abutment and carry a 15m span precast beam bridge deck on a bankseat with bearings, the abutment was designed to carry the vertical and horizontal dead and live loads associated with the bridge. The abutment and walls were built during the winter and despite appalling weather conditions, 800 facing panels (an average of 2m² each) and 20,000 m³ of backfill material was constructed in 15 weeks to complete the structure. #50yearsofReinforcedEarth #PrecastBeamBridgeDeck #PerimeterRetainingStructures Terre Armee
