ZenGold is the newest gold backed crypto-currency to hit the markets as ICO set for May 26. Last week the nation of Dubai announced the creation of a blockchain based crypto-currency that would be backed by physical gold, and would be compliant with the new dictates of Sharia law finance.
A gabion wall is a retaining wall made of stacked stone-filled gabions tied together with wire. Gabion walls are usually battered (angled back towards the slope), or stepped back with the slope, rather than stacked vertically.
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.
