Abstract: The wall according to the present invention comprises a gravity support structure with a plurality of compartments or cells which are filled with bulk-material and surrounded or subdivided by flat and flexible envelope material, and on one front side or on both opposite front sides of this gravity support structure a fore-part, preferably in the form of a supporting grid structure, which is positively or frictionally connected with said gravity support structure. Such combined wall structure can be used for slope supporting as well as for noise absorbing or partition purposes, in the latter cases e.g. in the form of a stand-alone structure. An essential function of the fore-parts is the protection of the front portions of the envelope material holding the bulk material filling against violation and solar irradiation. The stability of the combined wall is greatly enhanced by anchoring the fore-parts to the gravity support structure by means of comparatively inexpensive tensile elements.
