CHAIN-LINK RETAINING WALLS

This paper describes the design, construction, and performance of four low chain-link walls and the supporting laboratory pull-out resistance tests. Cost data are also presented, documenting as-built construction costs. The four low retaining walls were constructed within a three mile section of an existing road to regain width lost from fill erosion.
