Description of project

During the inspection of the support structure concerning the ASFINAG road network during 2016/2017 the bad condition of the anchorage at the anchor wall Buchberg 2.3 was detected. Therefore, redevelopment measures had to be initiated.

This primarily affected an anchored gravity dam with waling. A few segments were built as a cantilever retaining wall without jetty. The support structure has an overall length of approx. 550 m and is divided into 128 blocks according to the as-built plans. The height varies over the length; the maximum overall length is approx. 14.80 m.

Building measures, the construction tendering as well as the implementation project had to be based on the inherent retrofitting concept. During the process of planning a potential widening of the lane by overbuilding the cap stone on the retaining wall with a cantilever at a later date had to be considered.

The refurbishment of the wall was executed with vertical anchor pilaster strips over the block joints and facing shells, which stretch from one pilaster strip to the other.

The project was developed in cooperation with SKAVA consulting ZT-GmbH, which was in charge of the geotechnical calculations.
