Abstract

For purpose of constructing the "Vidikovac" rest area on the state road D115 Humac - Bol, not far from town of Bol on the island of Brač, a 9m retaining wall was necessary to form a plateau. Since the denivelation could not be formed as cascading, due to the request space for rest area, options for the construction of a 160 m long classically reinforced concrete wall and a gabion wall were investigated. The gabion wall with reinforced backfill was selected. Calculation sequence, as well as advantages and disadvantages of this type of construction are presented in this paper.
