Builder's Guide to Drainage & Retaining Walls

100 Illustrations PLUS 100 Sample Details

What is the critical first step in most construction projects? Creating an adequate drainage system! Retaining walls are integral to the design plan, when used to achieve level grade. These two topics are interrelated, and this book provides a complete introduction to doing both right:
  • Rainfall and Runoff
  • Roof, Basement and Crawlspace Drainage
  • Lot Drainage - including Septic Systems
  • Street Drainage
  • Grading for Drainage
  • Slope Drainage
  • The various types of retaining walls
  • Estimating concrete walls, etc.
  • Concrete and Masonry Retaining Walls
  • Modular units and similar types of Retaining Walls: Bin, Crib, etc.
Builder's Guide to Drainage & Retaining Walls has the data you need on average rainfall and runoff requirements so you can figure gutters, downspouts and roof drainage, and install appropriate waterproofing and dampproofing in basements and crawlspaces.

The book gives details for determining slope drainage, doing the grading, complying with street drainage requirements, and dealing with lots with septic systems.

Builder's Guide to Drainage & Retaining Walls covers many types of retaining walls, including modular unit walls, bin and crib walls, and more.

This guide also provides tables for estimating concrete quantities for both poured-in-place and masonry & concrete walls. Includes detailed recommendations for retaining walls in most of the situations you’re likely to encounter.

Includes a CD-ROM that brings you the entire book in an Adobe PDF file, for jobsite reference and quick word search. (This file has no print capability.) A second PDF file includes 100 sample details you can print and carry along on jobs.
