Overview of the Technology

Theoretical Background

Overview of HRW

  • The helix is designed to be inserted into the soil by rotating in a clockwise direction.
  • Since it follows a screw-type insertion, soil disturbance from the helix blades is minimal.
  • Installed to the design depth through the connection of extension rods (couplers).
  • The retaining wall connected to the helix resists earth pressure, reducing active displacement and increasing the stability of the retaining wall.

Field Applicability Test

Helix Pullout Resistance Test

  • Testing is conducted to confirm and verify the field applicability and constructability of the freestanding retaining method using helix, ensuring design pullout force and helix blade design technology considering ground irregularities.
