Precast Concrete Products: Retaining Wall Elements
Also Known As:
The BS EN 15258:2008 standard outlines the requirements and performance criteria for precast elements made of plain, reinforced, or prestressed normal weight concrete. These elements are intended for use in constructing retaining walls in various applications, including retaining natural ground excavations and trenches, retaining earth fills for roads and platforms, and in bridge abutments.
The standard also specifies that the precast elements may be used in seismic areas, provided they meet the specific requirements for this purpose. However, the standard does not cover products for retaining walls of tanks or reservoirs, retaining wall elements up to a height of 1.0m, elements used for stacked planting boxes with only facade functions, or precast diaphragm walls.
Additionally, the standard includes informative Annex B, which provides examples of precast elements considered in the standard. This standard is essential for ensuring the quality and conformity of precast retaining wall elements used in construction projects.
