(54) | A RETAINING WALL STRUCTURE AND A METHOD OF MAKING OR REINFORCING A RETAINING WALL STRUCTURE |
(57) A retaining wall structure, such as a quay structure, comprises an upwardly directed
longitudinal wall of which at least a lower portion is in a bottom. The height of
the bottom at a front side of the longitudinal wall is lower than at a back side of
the longitudinal wall which is located opposite to the front side. Furthermore, the
retaining wall structure comprises a series of upwardly directed transverse walls
which are located at a distance from each other in horizontal longitudinal direction
of the longitudinal wall and extend at the back side of the longitudinal wall by an
angle with respect to the longitudinal wall and of which at least lower portions are
located in the bottom. The thickness of the longitudinal wall is smaller than the
thickness of each of the transverse walls.
