<p>Soil nailing is an effective stabilizing method for slopes and excavations and has beenwidely used worldwide. It is a reinforcing method using the shear strength of in-situground and the pull-out resistance of soil nailing. Research on numerical schemes ...

<p>Soil nailing is an economic and efficient method to reinforce soils, involving the insertion of threaded bars into natural unstable slope for increasing the overall stability or into cut slopes during the top-down process of excavation. The retained soil, ...

<p>This edition follows in the footsteps of the well-known and universally acclaimed book Spundwand- Handbuch Berechnungen by Klaus Lupnitz dating from 1977. The preface to that book contained the following words: &ldquo;This edition of the Sheet Piling Handbook ...

<p>The soil mixing wall (SMW) retaining structure is applied in two long strip excavations in Shanghai. Firstly, the bearing and deforming mechanism of SMW is analyzed in brief. The structural analysis method ofSMWis discussed. Secondly, based on the in-situ ...

<p>The primary goal of this report was to develop Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) methods for slopes and retaining structures. Even though there is past research on LRFD of shallow foundations and piles, there are very few publications available on ...

<p>Reinforced soil walls have become very popular in seismic areas owing to their flexible nature and cost effectiveness when compared to the conventional retaining structures. Although the use of reinforced soil walls with modular block facings and gabion ...

<p>In the last decade, the use of soil nailing in the United States has increased significantly as a method to construct retaining structures in cut applications (top-down construction). Under favorable soil conditions, soil nail walls present advantages over ...
