In Reply to: Retaining wall OT posted by Sammy in Kansas on January 29, 2011 at 19:16:33:
I'm not sure what your ground conditions are where you live in KS. You did not say how high the wall will be. If you are trying to retain soils that are clay types, it is vital that you install drainage stone behind any wall to drain water and avoid frost push. Also if you use RR ties you should drape Geo fabrick on the back surface of the ties down to base to prevent silt from seeping out through the cracks. The walls will also require perpendicular ties back into the retained ground, "dead men" , morticed into the ties and pined to the wall with rebar and staked on the other end, and then backfilled. You can also lay the fabric in C shaped layers about a foot thick, back into the retained dirt. This works very well with dry laid stone retaining walls. As far as tires I think they would work very well if you tapered them back and filled them with crushed stone, and pined them with rebar. I can't say the looks would be my "cup of tea" but to each his own.
