Abstract
A bin-type retaining wall including at least one bin 10 defined by front and rear wall sections 12, 14 spaced apart by spacing walls 16, the bin providing a volume for anchoring material. Each wall section includes a plurality of longitudinal stringers 20, substantially hat-shaped in cross section and defined by a force receiving web 34 and a pair of outwardly diverging legs 32. Each leg terminates at an angled flange 36 having a portion 36a located in a vertical plane substantially parallel to the force receiving web and another portion 36b located in a plane that intersects the plane of the web. The flange portions 36b define abutting surfaces for adjacent stringers. Forces generated by the anchoring material, applied to the webs urge the legs outwardly to cause abutting contact between adjacent leg flange portions 36b, generating a soil tight interface between adjacent stringers. The spacers 24 are similarly configured and are also hat-shaped in cross section so that anchoring material produces soil tight abutting contact between exposed, adjacent spacers.
