P . Suresh B .Tech.,
It is very important to note that the total horizontal earth pressure is resisted by the frictional force between the soil and reinforcing element and the design will be made with required no. of layers vertically at adequate spacing Hence there will not be any horizontal thrust on facia panels/blocks and these elements are non structural and are provided only to prevent erosion, loss of material at the face of re wall. The foundation provided for facia panels is only to take the self weight of panels, kerb over wall etc., but not for resisting the horizontal thrust.
The facia wall facilitates to keep the reinforcing elements at desired level and to retain fill material. Compaction of fill material is not compulsory for walls without any vertical loads like gardens etc. For roads the compaction of fill shall be done as usual. But care must be taken that the compaction equipment like rollers etc should go not closer than 2m to wall facing
Generally the size of square panels shall be 1500 x 1500mm. The thickness of panels shall be 180 mm and concrete grade of M35 shall be adopted. Nominal reinforcement consisting of 8mm Hysd bars shall be provided both ways at center A leveling pad with m15 grade concrete shall be casted to provide a firm, level, and flat surface on which the facing units can be erected to the correct line, level. The width of footing is generally 600mm, and depth of 200mm. The leveling pad shall be cured for 24 hours prior to commencement of placing of panels.
No plant or equipment with a weight of more than 1500 kg shall be allowed to operate within a distance of 1.50m from the facing A light weight less than 1500kg vibratory roller or vibratory plate compactor may be used in this zone Beyond a distance of 1.50m from the facing a static or vibratory roller of 8- 10 t may be used for compaction.
