Monachino Technology PRECAST RETAINING WALL MONACHINO ON PRECAST STRIP FOUNDATION WALL FACED WITH NATURAL STONE Precast retaining walls are concrete structures for retaining soil. They are made up of a line of full-height modular panels. The side facing the soil is endowed with one or more vertical stiffening ribs that go from the base to the top of the wall. They are placed on a precast foundation of varying size that has been laid beforehand. The two elements are then anchored through a concrete pour. The precast foundation can be both direct (shallow) and indirect (deep). If the terrain requires it, piles or micropiles can be driven into the ground before the laying of the precast foundation. FAIR-FACED CONCRETE WALL The precast retaining walls are produced in four different types: exposed cement facing, covered in local stone or with horizontal flowerbeds (stone-grass or cementgrass). They can be used for the construction of retaining walls for embankments, toe walls, counterscarp walls, bridge abutments, abutments for artificial tunnels and noise barriers. Both the precast elements and their highly automatized production techniques are protected by patents and are perfectly suitable for any kind of soil pressure, be it low, medium or high. The wall facing can be made perpendicular to the laid substructure or inclined between 0% -15%. Placement is very quick and produces a structure which is ready to be filled.

Monachino Technology Precast Strip Foundation for Retaining Walls “Precast Strip Foundation”: The precast foundation is a reinforced concrete element made up of a tied rebar beam cage incorporated within a semi-precast concrete element which acts as formwork. The geometric dimensions and the steel area are established through static calculations elaborated according to the distributed of loads N, Mx, Tx, My, Ty and the pt pressure admissible on the terrain. Assembly Retaining Wall - Foundation: During the assembly process, the precast foundation is placed on the lean concrete, which has...

Monachino Technology Concreting When the concrete inside of the precast foundation has cured, all the adjusting devices are removed. Thanks to the technology with which it has been designed, the two precast structures manage to form, after the final pour of concrete, a perfect monolithic structure. In order to optimise the amount of the concrete using for the construction of the Wall the precast foundation can be produced slightly sloped. Deep foundation on piles or mini piles. The precast element may be mounted both in a shallow foundation and a deep one. When faced with conditions in which...
