Gabion fencing is the construction of thin section walls, normally 0.3 to 0.5m wide with vertical faces. The gabions cannot provide stability on their own, they require additional support to resist wind loading in the form of steel posts.
The design can consider the stability provided by the mass of the wall with the post providing the resistance to the resultant moment required to provide adequate factors of safety. Loadings due to wind and pedestrian barriers must be considered in design.
The minimum wire diameter for the units should be 4mm and the cell face area should not exceed 0.7m x 0.7m, otherwise deformation of the face can occur. |
