Abstract

A system of retaining wall blocks suitable for constructing a retaining wall comprising a modified arc segment shape cap block, a modified arc segment shape first wall block, and a modified arc segment shape second wall block.

Claims (29)

1 . A system of retaining wall blocks suitable for constructing a retaining wall comprising:

a cap block of modified arc segment shape, having height H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle A;

a first wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height n*H, two opposing sides with a midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle m*A; and

a second wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height i*H, two opposing sides with a midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle j*A.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the cap block having a length L 1 ; and

the first wall block and second wall blocking having a length L 2 , wherein L 1 is greater than, equal to, or less than L 2 .

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein L 1 is greater than L 2 .

4 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the first wall block having height 3*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle 2*A; and

a second wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height 2*H, opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle 3*A.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first wall block further comprises an interlocking lip configured to engage with a second first wall block or a second wall block.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second wall block further comprises an interlocking lip configured to engage with a first wall block or a second second wall block.

7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one first module, the first module including a first wall block and two cap blocks deposited on a top surface of the first wall block.

8 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one second module, the second module including a second wall block and three cap blocks deposited on a top surface of the second wall block.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first wall block and second wall block further comprise a textured front face having rounded edges.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first wall block further comprises at least one hollow cavity.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second wall block further comprises at least one hollow cavity.

12 . A method of constructing a retaining wall, the method comprising:

arranging a first wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height n*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius R and included angle m*A, adjacent to a second wall block, having height i*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius R and included angle j*A; and

capping the first wall block and second wall block with a plurality of cap blocks having height H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius R and included angle A, wherein the plurality of cap blocks have dimensions relative to the first wall block and second wall block.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first wall block and second wall block further comprise at least one hollow cavity.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

arranging a first module having a first wall block and two cap blocks deposited onto a top surface of the first wall block.

15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

arranging a second module having a second wall block and three cap blocks deposited onto a top surface of the second wall block.

16 . In a system having a cap block of modified arc segment shape, having height H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle A, a first wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height n*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle m*A, the first wall block further comprising at least one hollow cavity, and a second wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height i*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle j*A, the second wall block further comprising at least one hollow cavity, a method comprising:

arranging the first wall block of modified arc segment shape, having height n*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius R and included angle m*A, adjacent to the second wall block, having height i*H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle j*A; and

capping the first wall block and second wall block with a plurality of cap blocks having height H, two opposing sides with midpoint radius of approximately R and included angle A, wherein the plurality of cap blocks have dimensions relative to the first wall block and second wall block.
