| Abstract: | A study has been done for soil nailed cut considering circular type wedge failure by friction circle method. Effect of variation
of design parameters such as nail length, nail diameter, nail inclination, wall inclination, angle of internal friction of
soil, etc. have been incorporated in the study to determine the factor of safety of nailed open cuts. It is seen that at sites
which are susceptible to rainfall induced erosion, the erosion may be checked to a greater degree by soil nailing. This methodology
can be adopted at embankment sites, natural slopes, highways, etc. including free board of riverbank area of natural rivers.
The study shows that grouted nails perform better than driven nails. A case study further confirms the analytical findings. |
