本欧洲标准涉及用于建筑挡土墙的普通，加固或预应力的常规混凝土制成的预制构件的要求，基本性能标准和一致性评估。 本欧洲标准涵盖的产品旨在用作以下应用中挡土墙的一部分: - 保留自然地面挖掘和沟渠; - 为道路，平台等保留地面填充物; - 在桥基台及其侧壁; - 保留几种松散的材料，如沙子，砾石等 在本欧洲标准中考虑的一些预制元素的例子见附录B。 这些产品可以在满足特定用途的要求的条件下用于地震区域。 本欧洲标准不包括: - 用于挡土墙或液体池的产品; - 保留高度为1.0米的墙体元件，如果相应的挡土墙用于二次载荷，那些组装成高度可以形成高达1.0米的挡土墙（例如，用于矮墙的堆叠花箱）水平地球填充和附加费）; - 堆叠种植箱的产品，仅具有功能，因此不提交

This European Standard deals with the requirements, the basic performance criteria and evaluation of conformity for precast elements made of plain, reinforced or prestressed normal weight concrete, used for the construction of retaining walls. The products covered by this European Standard are intended to be used as part of retaining walls in applications such as: - to retain natural ground excavations and trenches; - to retain earth fills for roads, platforms, etc.; - in bridge abutments and their flank walls; - to retain several kinds of loose materials such as sand, gravel, etc. Some examples of precast elements considered in this European Standard are shown in the Informative Annex B. The products may be used in seismic areas on condition that they fulfil the requirements specific to this use. This European Standard does not cover: - products for retaining walls of tanks or reservoirs of liquids; - retaining wall elements up to a height of 1,0 m and those assembled to form retaining walls of up to 1,0 m in height (e.g. stacked flower boxes for dwarf walls) if the corresponding retaining wall is used for secondary loads (max. horizontal earth fill and with light surcharge); - products for stacked planting boxes, having only façade functions, and therefore not submitted to any loads (such as earth pressure loads, highway load effects, etc.); - precast diaphragm walls (concrete sheet piling).
