Reinforce 135 degree corner concrete blocks

[goosen]

Hello.

I am going to build a retaining wall in Leca approximately 80 cm high. It will have two 135-degree angles that I will cut manually. How do I reinforce these in the best way? It will be a weak part of the construction. I thought about cutting one side of the "ladder" of the rebar and angling it, but it feels flimsy.

Anyone with tips?

That's what I've done.

Add a bit of extra reinforcement with overlap about half a meter in each direction if you're feeling worried. As an amateur, I've figured it's cheaper to over-reinforce than to hire a structural engineer, so I tend to choose that route. But it does require a certain intuition after all... redoing can be quite costly/time-consuming.

I would be more concerned about the pressure from the wall, lateral support to handle side forces?

Add some extra reinforcement with overlap about half a meter in each direction if you're worried. As an amateur, I've reasoned that it's cheaper to over-reinforce than to hire a constructor, so I usually choose that route. But it requires a certain feeling anyway..., redoing can become quite expensive/time-consuming.

Okay, go with that too.

As for the pressure from the ground, I've also worried a bit, but according to Finja it should work since it's not more than 80cm. The foundation will be Leca placed transversely so it forms an L-support.

Maybe I should use skalblock instead... just hard to stucco.
