garage or carport. I will end up (on the highest side) with a
sheer face of earth approx 10' high and 18' long which I will
need to retain.

I have seen concrete formwork blocks (don't know the correct
name) which are effectively two square 'tubes' in one block. They

Now, I was wondering about laying these blocks with vertical
steel inserted into the hollow sections, and pouring concrete
into them as I build. Effectively, - ending up with a concrete
wall, - containing steel reinforcement.

Is this a reasonable proposition?


yep. Yuo'll need a pretty thick wall to retain 10' of earth though,
with equally good foundations.
