COMPILATION OF DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR SOIL NAILING

Soil nailing is an in-situ technique for reinforcing, stabilizing and retaining excavation
and slope. The basic concept of soil nailing is reinforces the existing ground by
inserting a passive inclusion into the soil in a closely spaced pattern to increase the
overall shear strength of the in-situ soil and restraint its displacement. The nails used
in soil-nailing retaining structures are generally steel bars or other metallic elements
that can resist tensile, shear stresses and bending moment.
