Breast walls
ब्रेस्ट वॉल
A breast wall is specifically constructed to protect the natural slopes of a cutting (excavation) from the adverse effects of
the atmosphere, weathering, and minor landslides. It helps prevent earth from slipping down due to rain or wind and is
designed to resist the pressure of the earth behind it without holding back a massive active surcharge.
ब्रेस्ट वॉल विशेष रूप से इसलिए बनाई जाती है ताकि खुदाई (excavation) से बनी प्राकृतिक ढलानों को वातावरण, मौसम के असर और छोटे
मोटे भूस्खलन (landslides) से बचाया जा सके। यह बारिश या हवा के कारण मिट्टी को नीचे खिसकने से रोकने में मदद करती है। इसे इस तरह
डिज़ाइन किया जाता है कि यह अपने पीछे मौजूद मिट्टी के दबाव को तो झेल सके, लेकिन बहुत भारी बाहरी भार (active surcharge) को
संभालने के लिए न बनी हो।
