Soil nail wall - Soil nailing - soil nailing walls

Soil nailing is an earth retention technique using grouted tension-resisting steel

elements (nails) that can be design for permanent or temporary support. The walls

are generally constructed from the top down. Typically, 3 to 6 feet of soil is

excavated from the top of the planned excavation. Near-horizontal holes are drilled

into the exposed face at typically 3 to 6 foot centers. Tension-resisting steel bars are

inserted into the holes and grouted. A drainage system is installed on the exposed

face, followed by the application of reinforced shotcrete facing. Precast face

been used instead of shotcrete. Bearing plates are then fixed to the heads of the soil

nails. The soil at the base of this first stage is then removed to a depth of about 3 to 6

feet. The installation process is repeated until the design wall depth is reached. The

finished soil nails produce a zone of reinforced ground.

Figure 1: Typical soil nail wall arrangement

Soil nail wall construction proceeds from the top to bottom, and head plates are

installed on each nail. Shotcrete or concrete is typically applied on the excavation

face to provide continuity when a soil nail wall is constructed. For a soil nail wall

the general construction procedure involves:

What is Soil Nailing?

Soil nailing is a technique used to bring soil stability in areas where landslides might be a problem. Soil nail can prevent landslides by inserting steel reinforcement bars into the soil and anchoring them to the soil strata. It is called Soil Nail, because it’s like having a nail being hammered into the soil, where the nails, are the steel bars

12

Soil nail provides a resisting force against slope failures.

- Its construction process is faster than other similar methods. The

construction procedure starts, drilling into the soil, where the nail, steel

bar, is going to be placed. After the drilling has been completed, exact

depth must be provided by the geotechnical engineer, the nail must be

inserted into the drilled hole. Then, it must be grouted into the soil to

create a structure similar to a gravity wall. After placing the nail, a shot-

Crete layer is usually placed as a facing material, to protect the exposed

nail, and then other architectural options are placed over the shot-Crete,

creating an aesthetic finish to the project.

- The grouted soil nail hole typically has a minimum diameter of 4

inches. Centralizers are placed around the soil nail to maintain an

even thickness of grout around the bar. For permanent

applications, nails may be epoxy-coated or provided with a

protective sheath for corrosion protection

SOIL NAILING

Soil nail concept: Unlike the ground anchor that stresses to "seal" the ground, soil nail is "passive", that is, it develops tension only as the ground deforms laterally. Soil nails are normally used to stabilise natural or

excavation slopes.

14

1) face failure seems to be a structural failure of the concrete facing, mostly

un-related to the soil nail or screw. If you are able to successfully install the

nail and facing, then face failure should not happen.

2) screws may have more uniform tension along nearly the entire length of

the rod, as the anchoring helix is generally on the end.

3) screws do not impart as much stress into the looser surface zones,

instead they only anchor in the competent material where the helices are.

The difference is in soil nails vs. tieback anchors

Soil nails are usually shorter with much lower lower design loads than

tieback anchors. In length, soil nails usually are between 70% AND

100% x the wall height.

Grouted tieback anchors are usually longer than 30 feet with 40 to 60

feet being more normal for most applications . Sometimes, tieback

anchors are much, much longer than 60 feet.

Soil nails are usually installed at closer spacings than tiebacks. Nails

may be installed at an area of approximately 25 SF per nail (5' x 5')

while tiebacks may be installed at an area of approximately 120 SF per

nail (sometimes more, sometimes less).

Tiebacks are active support members. They push on the retained soil

harder than the earth and surcharge pressures would push on the

wall. Soil nails are passive support members. They provide their

support as the soil mass begins to mobilize.

Both soil nails and tieback anchors might have similar corrosion

protection details. Every tieback anchor is usually proof or

performance tested.

Most soil nails are not tested. Usually a small percentage of the nails

are tested or non-production nails are tested.

Soil nail tendons are usually Grade 60 or 75 threadbar

tendons. Tieback tendons are usually either threadbar tendons (Grade

60 to Grade 160) or multi-strand tendons (Grade 270).

Soil nail walls are soldier beamless walls. Shotcrete and nails are the

support. There may be a second or permanent facing of shotcrete or

even a precast facing attached to the nails.

22

Tiedback walls often use soldier beams, lagging, and tiebacks with a

precast or cast in place concrete permanent facing when required.

Soil nail walls become economical when the retained soils have a little

cohesion and when it may be expensive to install soldier

beams. Uncontrolled ground water can be a big problem when

constructing either tiedback or soil nail walls.

Both tiedback and soil nail walls are meant to be constructed from the

top down, in a cut situation.

If your wall is a fill or embankment wall, anchored walls are usually not

the best wall type. Try an MSE wall or conventional concrete wall. Tiebacks can be made in most types of soil except soft clays and silts, and in all types of rock. The capacity of the anchors in soil will vary depending upon grain size and installation method. The denser, granular soils will typically produce higher capacity tiebacks. We have installed tiebacks with lengths in excess of 200 feet and tested capacities of over 500 kip for landslide stabilization

Soil nailing – 2

The basic principle of soil nailing is to place rebar into the

natural soil in an effort to increase its tensile strength and shear

strength. Soil nailing is used when the natural soil has adequate

compressive

Soil nailing – 2-1

27

Soil nailing is used when the natural soil has adequate compressive strength, but low levels of tensile and shear strength. In this condition, soil nailing serves to improve the load-bearing behavior of the natural soil.

The original subsoil is therefore turned into a composite body which, in terms of load-bearing behavior, is similar to a gravity wall capable of taking up external forces so that the soil is integrated into the structure as a structural component.

Wedge analysis – Nails Design The equilibrium of a simple triangular active failure wedge behind the excavation

face was examined to estimate the development of axial soil nail forces in response to

the deepening excavation (Figure 10).

This approach is commonly used for soil nail design, although the complexity of the

mechanisms varies (SAICE 1989). For the

problem modelled in the centrifuge, only three forces were considered: the self-weight

of the failure wedge = (W)

the resisting force mobilised on the failure plane (R) and the sum of the individual

soil nail forces (T).

For a fully mobilised failure mechanism the resisting force R would act at an angle φ

as shown in Figure 10, where φ is the soil friction angle. The soil nails were assumed

to carry only axial loads, disregarding any bending or shear stiffness they might

possess.

The failure wedge was assumed to mobilise at a slope angle β. This slope anglew as

varied to find the maximum axial soil nail force (T). For a horizontal soil surface and

smooth vertical retaining wall, the wedge analysis provides the same solution as the

active Rankine earth pressure case

The soil nail loads were calculated for various depths of excavation by simply

dividing the total calculated soil nail force (T) by the number of nails intersecting the

failure wedge. The calculated forces (based on horizontal soil nails) are plotted with

the observed loads. As no failure wedge intersects soil nails for excavation depths of

up to 30 mm (1.5 m at prototype scale), zero soil nail force was assumed up to this

depth.
