Wall Structures.Under this heading have been placed free-standing walls resisting the overturning effect of horizontal pressure from water, soil, coal, etc. These are not the most glamorous structures, but their stories contain further insights into Monash's approaches to business and technology. Most of them were conventional 'retaining walls', rigidly attached to a flat base slab to provide stability. However, Monash adopted a different system for most of his swimming pool projects. His experience with the two systems is therefore covered in two different stories swimming pools and retaining walls. For quick reference to some of the major projects see the links listed below. |
