Abstract
A wall system includes a face joint member including a substantially flat face and at least two webs extending orthogonally on an opposite side to the flat face. The wall system further includes a counterfort beam coupled to the face joint member, wherein the counterfort beam includes at least two counterfort webs extending from a counterfort flange that extends between the at least two counterfort webs. The counterfort beam is coupled to the face joint member by coupling the at least two counterfort webs to the at least two webs of the face joint member.

A wall system, comprising:
- a face joint member comprising a substantially flat face and at least two webs extending orthogonally on an opposite side to the flat face;
- and
- a counterfort beam coupled to the face joint member, wherein the counterfort beam comprises at least two counterfort webs extending from a counterfort flange that extends between the at least two counterfort webs,
- wherein the counterfort beam is coupled to the face joint member by coupling the at least two counterfort webs to the at least two webs of the face joint member.
A wall system, comprising:
- a plurality of face joint members each comprising a substantially flat face and at least two webs extending orthogonally on an opposite side to the flat face;
- a plurality of counterfort beams respectively coupled to one of the plurality of face joint members, wherein a respective counterfort beam comprises at least two counterfort webs extending from a counterfort flange, the counterfort flange extending between the at least two counterfort webs,
- wherein the respective counterfort beam is coupled to the face joint member by coupling the at least two counterfort webs to the at least two webs of the face joint member;
- and
- an intermediate slab that extends from a first web of a first counterfort beam of the plurality of counterfort beams to a second web of a second counterfort beam of the plurality of counterfort beams.
A wall system, comprising:
- a plurality of face joint members each comprising a substantially flat face and at least two webs extending orthogonally on an opposite side to the flat face;
- a plurality of counterfort beams respectively coupled to one of the plurality of face joint members, wherein a respective counterfort beam comprises at least two counterfort webs extending from a counterfort flange, the counterfort flange extending between the at least two counterfort webs, and wherein the respective counterfort beam comprises an inclined rear panel,
- wherein the respective counterfort beam is coupled to the face joint member by coupling the at least two counterfort webs to the at least two webs of the face joint member;
- an upper support slab coupled to the at least two counterfort webs of the respective counterfort beam;
- and
- an intermediate slab that extends from a first web of a first counterfort beam of the plurality of counterfort beams to a second web of a second counterfort beam of the plurality of counterfort beams, wherein the intermediate slab is positioned directly below the upper support slab.
