Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms. The system currently used by taxonomists is called the Linnaean taxonomic system, in honor of Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus (1707 â 1778). The Linnaean system breaks down organisms into seven major divisions, called taxa (singular: taxon).
Generally speaking, the wall measures about 23 to 26 feet tall. The fracture surface of the wall is ladder type with the base measuring about 7.1 yards wide and the top measuring 6.3 yards wide on average, which makes it firm and very unlikely to collapse.
Gabion wall base width relative to wall height base width of a gabion gravity retaining wall is related to the height of wall so as the wall height increases the base becomes wider to ensure structural stability. Below is a suggested diagram to illustrate a starting point for design. A typical conservative value of base width = 2/3 wall height. *** A stability analysis may determine that the gabion gravity retaining wall base width be less than or greater than 1/2 - 2/3 wall height.
