Abstract
This document gives instruction and information about remediation of transport retaining walls. Concrete
and reinforced concrete retaining walls in terms of proposal and workmanship in comparison with many other
structures can be considered less demanding. Unfortunately, this fact does not apply every time and we have to solve
compromise proposals for remediation. Calculation of load would also not be problematic even for a less ambitious
structural engineer. Also, design principles, and most simple form should not bother anyone. The ways of remediation
described in this article can be applied to other concrete structures, whether they are retaining walls and noise barriers
along roads or railways.
