Hi, I am from Nepal, a small country with very huge topographical (terrain) variations from plains to very steep rocky mountains. We mostly use gabion retaining walls in hill roads. I have tried a lot to design a gabion retaining wall in my highway design but could not succeed. and is quantity calculation according to different types of gabion boxes possible?

Hi, in north Algeria we have the same problem, and we use gabion retaining walls too much, but the geotechnical engineer is the one who make the design and quantities estimation for the gabion, I don’t include it in civil 3d quantity calculation, because it is simpler to calculate it manually, and in civil 3d we use surface contours to define the top of gabion boxes.
