Abstract
A revetment comprised of nesting, interlocking, building blocks and means to adjust each block between backfilling operations. Identical T-shaped building blocks nest vertically and horizontally, and locking pins which interlock the opposite sides of the T-caps of the blocks hold the blocks in place. Channel-shaped brackets are secured to the back faces of the blocks and adjustable anchor members are secured to the channel-shaped brackets. Adjusting the length of each anchor member alters inclination to the vertical of each block as required. After proper alignment of the blocks by anchor member adjustment, the anchor members are embedded and secured in place by backfill, which is then compacted, such as by rolling or by other state-of-the-art means.
