Soil nailing is an in situ soil reinforcement technique that can be
used to enhance the stability of slopes, retaining walls,
embankments, and excavations. It involves installation of closely
spaced, relatively slender unstressed tension-carrying structural
elements into the ground to stabilize the soil mass. These
elements, which are called soil nails, comprise steel or other
engineering materials such as fiber reinforced polymer. Soil
nailing did not gain popularity until the 1970s when engineers
started to realize that the technique could offer an effective,
robust, and economical reinforcing system for a variety of ground
conditions. More importantly, the track record has been excellent
in that no major collapses have been reported in properly designed
and well-constructed soil nailed structures so far. Considerable
experience and knowledge of the technique have been gained in the
past few decades through systematic technical development work
comprising laboratory tests, numerical modeling, physical modeling,
site trials and field monitoring covering design, and construction
practices. Soil Nailing: A Practical Guide consolidates the
experience and advances made in the development and use of the soil
nailing technique and encourages a wider adoption of the technique
by practitioners. The book is intended for use by postgraduate
students, researchers, and practicing civil and geotechnical
engineers, who wish to have a more in-depth and fundamental
understanding of the theory and practice behind the technique. It
presents the basic principles of the technique as well as
state-of-the-art knowledge and recommended standard of good
practice in respect of design, construction, monitoring, and
maintenance of soil nailed structures.
