Presented by Andy Bowman, Sr. Project Development Engineer for GSI
Under certain site cond
itions and geometries, soil nails and soil nail-wall systems can provide an
economical option to stabilizing landslides, soil slopes, and retaining st
ructures such as reinforced concrete and MSE retaining walls. This present
ation will begin with discussing what makes a soil nail a “soil nail”, when
soil nail systems should be considered, details of the soil and site geome
try information needed for design, and design concepts and methodologies.
Information will then be provided regarding typical equipment and approache
s used for construction and installation of these systems, and limited acce
ss applications. Finally, as time allows, project examples will be present
ed and discussed; from obtaining the initial site information through desig
n and construction, to the final in-place repair system.
