This is why you build with the landscape, not against it.

@liewkkia1 You have no clue about the construction of a Segmental Retaining Wall
-
@soco13466 What is it about hydro-static pressure do you not understand?
-
@Nash1a You are right they are not blocks. Search Lock + Load. The live weight of vehicle traffic on the wall is far worse than the dead weight of a building.
-
@Shaneation The size of the block has no bearing on how the wall stands up. The block for the most part is just a facing.
-
You sir are an idiot. You know nothing about retaining wall construction. The geogrid behind the block is what holds up the wall and you can clearly see it is there. If it was loose fill and not compacted the whole thing would have come down. You are a homeowner that is mad you have to see this wall and are trying to make something of it. This video is a joke!
-
@sandman2060829 Because nobody knew that the designer/contractor "forgot" to reinforce the backfill?
-
@beranbr Well..seems rahter intriguing that whoever designed/built it did not think about reinformcement of the backfill
-
@kmspike6064 How could this happen in this perfect world utopia?!
-
Hardly a disaster

this was not an engineering disaster... Engineers are not to be blamed. Its the construction company's that cut corners to save money. And this is what happends....

Not likely due to construction company faults. They had a very explicit design document, which specified materials, slope angle, etc. Where is the lawsuit against the construction company?
