Abstract

Due to rapid increase in the construction sector various building materials are being used universally. Retaining walls play crucial role in Geotechnical Engineering, wherein Gabion retaining walls have come more into limelight. The Gabion retaining walls are very much beneficial when it comes to economy, structural stability and aesthetic look when compared to others. They have multiple functions and are very effective when it comes to water draining properties. The current paper gives an overview about the Methodology of gabion retaining wall and RCC Wall. A Gabion wall is one of a modern kinds of retaining wall, which consists of stone-filled mesh boxes that are tied together to form a shape of retaining wall. A Gabion wall is preferred nowadays due to its simplicity, speedy construction, flexibility, an eco-friendly, and a wide range of applications. This paper describes details of the Gabion wall and details about materials used for manufacturing of mesh box, its specifications, testing methods on Gabion mesh, construction procedure, merits–demerits, and application areas. Total five types of retaining walls, namely stonemasonry, cantilever, counter fort, buttresses, and Gabion has designed for the height of five meters with the same input design parameters. Cost comparison of optimized sections of all walls is also presented. This study provides a base for further research on possible modifications in the Gabion wall system particularly
