Soil Nails

Soil Nails

Stabilizing slopes and cuts with in-place steel reinforcement and soil nails

When deformations are not essential, soil nailing is a passive approach for stabilising slopes, cuttings, and deep excavations.

Characteristics

When compared to actively tensioned ground anchors, the load transfer method of soil nails is significantly different.
The soil nail consolidates the entire soil, enhancing its ability to support more weight.

Soli Nails are used in:

stabilisation of embankments
extensive excavations
stability of slope

How Soil Nails are work?

Instead of acting independently, soil nails function as an entire nailing system. Their use adds in-situ steel reinforcement, which raises a slope’s or cut face’s capacity.

To stabilise the active zone of the slope, soil nails are inserted into the slope’s passive sections. Tensile and shear stresses therefore work on the soil nail to strengthen the soil and stabilise the slope.
