Abstract: The invention relates to a component for spatial grid supporting systems comprising filler material, especially for retaining walls and/or noise-abatement walls. Said component comprises the following characteristics: a closed or open, single-element or multi-element frame body (RK) is provided, said frame body comprising at least one longitudinal member (LTF) which extends essentially along the front of the supporting system on the front side in relation to the mounting position. The frame body also comprises at least one cross member (QT) which extends at an angle, especially at a right angle, in relation to the longitudinal member. Said longitudinal member (LTF) has, at least in sections, a polygonal, especially square, cross-section which is defined by longitudinal surfaces which are essentially, or at least in sections, plane, said cross-section extending in a normal direction (N) to a frame plane (E—E) which is defined by the longitudinal member and the cross member.

Abstract: A cellular structure, in particular a supporting or sound insulation structure plantable with greenery, one with earth, rock, or bulk material filling (Ed), arranged in particular as cells (Z) in layers, the cells being bounded at least in part by flat flexible, liquid-permeable, and corrosion-resistant material (F), in particular material in the form of netting or a grating, and having at least one dimensionally stable frontal element (FG) also in the form of netting or a grating which is connected to tension bracing (ZA) extending into the cell filling and to support bracing (ZV) ensuring the assigned frontal surface inclination and frontal surface position of the structure, the support bracing (ZV) for the individual front elements having at least one elongated bracing element (AS) which on one side is connected to a front element (FG) and on the other extends into the area of the filler.

Abstract: A construction element, such as a supporting element for a retaining wall, has a casing which is at least partially permeable. The casing contains a block-shaped, granulated, bulk or porous filling material. The casing has two layers including a relatively rigid grating part (GT) for strength and a relatively flexible, finer meshed netting part (NT) for containment of filling material. The casing is designed as a closed hollow body which is coupled to the filling (FL) so as to form a substantially self-supporting construction element which is completely prefabricated.
