<p>This document presents information on the analysis, design, and construction of permanent soil nail walls in highway applications. The main objective is to provide practitioners in this field with sound and simple methods and guidelines that will allow ...

This manual provides criteria for evaluating corrosion losses when using coated or uncoated steel reinforcements, and for determining aging and installation damage losses when using geosynthetic reinforcements. Monitoring methods for in-situ corrosion rates ...

<p>Since about 1980 Corrosion Monitoring Systems have been used in many concrete structures in aggressive environmentworldwide. While these systemswork properly in aboveground environment, some questions have arisen for submerged conditions, e.g. the outer ...

<p>This paper describes application of nondestructive test (NDT) methods for condition assessment of metal-tensioned elements in geotechnical engineering applications including rock bolts, ground anchors and soil nails. Electrochemical tests, such as measurements ...

Permanent rock bolts in civil engineering are taken with a design life of at least 50 years. A review of recent Australian tunneling projects shows that substantial differences exist in the level of corrosion protection provided for permanent steel shafted ...
