Concrete Block Standards

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for segmental concrete block retaining walls. This section was originally developed for USACE Civil Works projects.

This comprehensive new manual from NCMA covers the design and construction of articulating concrete block systems, which provide erosion protection to the underlying soil from the hydraulic forces of moving water. This manual has been updated to incorporate the latest recommendations...
