Design Methodology

The design methodology followed by Risi Stone Systems is based on the National Concrete Masonry Design Manual for
Segmental Retaining Walls, Second Edition. These guidelines were specifically established for concrete faced mechanically stabilized earth walls and are the most widely accepted method in use today (visit www.ncma.org).

We have compiled our Design Methodology into a PDF document which you can view here :

This document outlines the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) design methodology as it applies to the RisiStone Segmental Retaining Wall Systems, as well as addressing some additional design issues. This methodology analyses the external, internal, and local stability of both conventional and reinforced RisiStone segmental retaining walls.
