Loading tests on a new type of retaining wall system - 1-1 experiments in the pilot plant of the Chair

UNI-International would like to bring on the market a new type of concrete block for the retaining wall construction. The stone UNI MAGICO differs in its special form from the other stone types. This form leads to an interlocking of the bricks in the wall.

At the pilot plant of the chair soil mechanics and foundation engineering / geotechnical engineering of the Brandenburg University of Technology, load test were accomplished on an UNI-MAGICO-Stone wall. The tests revealed insights into the deformation behavior of this new type of retaining wall system.
