Abstract

A stablized retaining wall structure (10) comprising concrete blocks (11) stacked in an array of superimposed rows, and with a stable anchoring assembly (21) being in restraining contact with selected blocks (11). A retainer detent (15) extends from the top surface of a wall of the block (11) between the outer surface of the block (11) and the hollow core (14, 54). An earthen fill zone (17) is arranged in spaced apart relationship to the rear surface (12) of the retaining wall (10) and clean granular back-fill (18) is interposed between the retaining wall (11) and the earthen fill zone (17). A retainer device (26) is provided to couple selected wall blocks (11) to a remote stable anchoring assembly (21), with the retainer device (26) being configured to be restrainably held within the hollow core (14, 54). One end of the elongated fastener (27) is coupled to the retainer device (26), with the fastener (27) or elongated connector extending outwardly through the retainer detent (15) and secured to the remote stable anchoring assembly (21).
