We all know that riverbank revetment bricks require relatively high dimensional accuracy in production. In fact, the quality of their laying directly affects the overall interlocking performance, making the correct construction method essential. Today, let's take a look at the specific steps for constructing riverbank revetment bricks.
According to the design requirements for the slope gradient, the foundation of the slope was treated, weeds, tree roots, and protrusions were cleared, appropriate materials were used to fill the holes and struck, ensuring a smooth and dense surface for the slope, meeting the design requirements of the river embankment brick slope.
2. The base surface has been paved with geotextile or graded crushed stone.
Excavate the foundation pit along the edge, fill the bottom with suitable materials and compact them, construct the heel wall along the lower edge, and build the remaining heel wall with concrete or rubble concrete, anchoring it into the heel wall to ensure it fully meets the design requirements.
4. Begin the sequential laying of three rows of chained slope bricks from the bottom edge. The lengthwise direction of the riverbank slope bricks runs counter to the water flow. One row of bricks is half-mortared into the toe wall along the bottom edge and anchored with rubble or concrete toe walls, intersecting with the surface of the second row of chained bricks along the bottom edge.
5. Other retaining bricks should be laid starting from the lower left (or right) corner, with the laying direction parallel to the heel wall but not perpendicular to it, to prevent cumulative errors and affect the laying quality.
6. Laid interlocking riverbank bricks within the upstream retaining wall, constructed the upstream retaining wall, and anchored some interlocking bricks to the upstream retaining wall. If surface coloring is required for the interlocking bricks, clean off the loose dust and debris from the surface of the bricks.
That concludes the construction steps for riverbank retaining bricks. Additionally, to form corners or straight edges, the retaining bricks can be cut to the desired specifications and angles using a toothless saw. Check the flatness of the slope and re-treat any areas that do not meet the design standards. A layer of natural soil can be laid on the surface above the normal water level, followed by planting flowers and grasses suitable for the local climate.
