Abstract:
1. A retaining wall system for stabilizing an earthen wall comprising: at least one panel structure comprising at least one anchor mesh panel comprising at least one connecting pin; where the anchor mesh panel is arranged such that the bearing bar engages at least one of the upper portion and the lower portion of the insert and the bearing portion is between the corner portion of the insert and the rear face of the front panel; the connecting pin extends through the at least one lock opening such that when loads are applied to the rear face of the wall panel the engagement of the connecting pin with the edge portion of the at least one anchor panel and the engagement of the bearing bar with at least one of the upper and lower portions of the insert member substantially maintains the predetermined angle at which the bearing portion of the tension rods are bent, thereby inhibiting relative movement between the anchor mesh panel and the wall panel.
