tugimüürs

Tugimüürs are structural elements designed to retain soil or other loose materials at a steeper angle than would naturally occur. They are commonly used in landscaping, construction, and civil engineering projects to prevent erosion, create usable level areas on slopes, and manage changes in elevation. The primary function of a tugimüür is to resist the lateral pressure exerted by the retained material.

Various materials can be used in the construction of tugimüürs, including concrete, stone, timber, and gabions. The design of a tugimüür depends on factors such as the height of the retained material, the type of soil or material being held back, and the expected loads. A well-designed tugimüür will incorporate a drainage system to prevent water buildup behind the wall, which can significantly increase pressure and compromise stability.

Common types of tugimüürs include gravity walls, which rely on their own mass to resist the soil pressure; cantilever walls, which are L-shaped structures that use the weight of the soil on their heel to provide stability; and anchored walls, which use anchors embedded in the soil behind the wall to provide additional support. The selection of a particular type and material is crucial for the long-term performance and safety of the structure.
