Soil Nail Wall Design Using Simplified Charts
Soil nailing is one of the most commonly used in situ earth retaining technique being used worldwide. Due to its widespread applications, over the years, numerous methods of analysis and design of soil nail walls have evolved. The design of any soil nail wall is a function of multiple factors, including geometric configuration of wall, loading conditions, in situ soil conditions, and numerous inherent failure modes. In practice, usually analytical methods based on allowable stress design approach are used for the design of soil nail walls. In this study, following the most commonly used allowable stress design method for soil nail walls, design charts are proposed for assisting in the design process. Charts are prepared for a variety of geometric conditions of wall, such as face batter and height of wall, and in situ soil conditions. These charts can also be used for preliminary design and evaluation of the internal stability failure modes, namely, pullout failure and tensile failure. The application of the proposed design charts is demonstrated with the help of an illustrative design example of a typical soil nail wall. It is anticipated that the proposed chart would assist practicing engineers.
