A crib retaining wall is a gravity retaining structure, usually employed for soil stabilization and erosion control. It consists of interlocking boxes made from precast concrete or timber, forming a crib-like framework. This framework is then filled with granular material. Crib Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 6’-20’ (1.83-6.1 m), overall depths of 2.5’-6.5’ (.76-1.98 m), and block heights between 8”-20” (20.3-50.8 cm). Crib Retaining Walls are often created at an angle of 10-20 degrees and structural spacings between 2.5’-6.5’ (.76-1.98 m). Retaining wall lengths vary as needed.
A gravity retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil or loose materials, preventing them from eroding or collapsing. It relies on its own weight to counteract the lateral forces exerted by the retained material. The wall's base is usually wider than the top. Gravity Retaining Walls are constructed with typical heights of 2’-16’ (.61-4.88 m), base depths of 1’-8’ (.3-2.44 m), and wall thicknesses between .5’-5’ (.15-1.52 m). Gravity Retaining Walls are often created at an angle of 6-12 degrees. Retaining wall lengths vary as needed.

Looking at wall art is a common practice in museums and galleries. Wall art is typically placed at eye level, although when looking at a large piece, the viewer may need to crane their head to look up, down, or side to side to take in the whole piece. People may also look at wall art in shops.
Wall clocks are time-displaying devices that are mounted on a wall. They come in various types, catering to different tastes and functional needs. Analog clocks, with hour, minute, and sometimes second hands, are traditional and widely used. Digital wall clocks display time in a numerical format.
Masonry walls are made by stacking individual masonry units, such as bricks, stones, or concrete blocks, and binding them together with mortar. Masonry walls can be load-bearing, meaning they support the weight of the structure above them, or non-load-bearing.
A wall is a vertical structure that encloses a space, defining an area of land. It can be either external or internal. As part of a building, walls carry loads and provide support to roofs, floors, and ceilings. Another purpose of walls are to ensure shelter, security, and soundproofing for users.

Wall mounted ramp handrails are handrails used along any accessible ramp that is comprised of walls on one or either side of the run. Wall mounted ramp handrails provide support and stability to individuals walking up or down the ramp. These handrails typically consist of a sturdy, durable material.

Dimensions will vary based on the desired slope and height needed. When handrails are attached to a wall, an offset gap of at least 1.5” (3.8 cm) must be continuously maintained between the handrail and the wall surface. In situations where a handrail is not continuous, handrails must extend at least another 12” (30.5 cm) parallel to the flat surface of the ramp landing. Handrails along both sides of a ramp are required on any ramp system with a rise greater than 6” (15.2 cm) or a horizontal run greater than 72” (182.9 cm).
