METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPAIRING RETAINING WALLS
A system for repairing masonry and concrete retaining walls that are failing under lateral earth pressure applied to the outer wall surface of the failing wall. Upper and lower spaced anchor plates are secured to the inner wall surface of the failing wall by respectfully securing the anchor plates to the inner wall surface with at least one anchor bolt. A threaded steel tension rod is then connected between the upper and lower anchor plates with nuts threadably secured to upper and lower ends of the rod. The threaded steel tension rod is placed under a desired tension load to thereby apply an external tension forced to the inner wall surface without applying bending stresses to the threaded steel rod by tightening at least one of the nuts.
