Retaining Wall Construction Diagram
This diagram illustrates a common civil engineering approach for stabilizing a road embankment or a sloped cut. It features a robust retaining structure with a sloped face, covered by a green mesh to promote vegetation growth, aiding in bio-stabilization and erosion control. Horizontal black lines extending into the ground from the lower part of the slope indicate the presence of soil nails or ground anchors, providing internal reinforcement to the soil. Near the top, beneath the road, a series of red and black lines are visible, possibly representing stress distribution, monitoring points, or additional targeted reinforcement. A guardrail is installed along the edge of the roadway.
