What happens here

Next, the narrator demonstrates the physical assembly of the 'Block-Bridge' system. Specialized clips are shown being inserted into the hollow cores of the main retaining wall blocks. These clips then extend backward to engage with a second set of concrete masonry units (CMUs) that act as anchor blocks, placed directly behind the main wall. The void spaces within these CMUs and the area between the front and anchor blocks are designed to be filled with rock or other appropriate fill material, providing substantial weight and structural integrity to the wall. This interlocking and filling process is what creates a stable gravity wall without the need for extensive geogrid layers.

Goal: Physically connect the retaining wall blocks using clips and fill internal voids to create a stable structure.

Tools and materials

  • Block-Bridge Clips Block-Bridge — Connecting the main retaining wall blocks to the anchor blocks
  • Concrete Masonry Units — Forming the main wall and the anchor blocks
  • Rock — Filling the void spaces within and between the CMUs to provide mass and stability

helps to hold the wall together let's see if we can actually see how this goes underneath so if you take a look at these blocks so he's actually using hollow core blocks all the way up i don't i'm not a big fan of hollow core blocks period because if they get hit or anything like that they just damaged but the system is a viable system i've used different variations of this and this is just a simple clip that clips on to the main block eight to the anchor block behind it and then the void space gets filled
