What happens here

This project provides a detailed analysis of a retaining wall that failed just five months after construction. It serves as an instructional guide on identifying critical construction flaws, such as the absence of geogrid and geotextile fabric, and the incorrect use of pea gravel as drainage backfill, which are common causes of premature retaining wall collapse.
