Laying block on flat or edge for embankment

rodge123 · 2015-10-20 19:13:04

I plan to build a retaining wall for an embankment of earth. It will about 2.5 feet high, 5 feet deep and 60 feet long. Does anyone know how I can calculate whether I need to use standard 4' block on flat or edge? Thanks

That's a question for and engineer but don't be suprised when it's much thicker than both 100 & 225mm
