The Construction Technique Of Soil Nailing

Soil nailing is a construction technique that can be used as a remedial measure to treat unstable natural soil slopes or as a construction technique that allows the safe over-steepening of new or existing soil slopes. Soil nails can prevent landslides by inserting steel reinforcement bars into the soil and anchoring them to the soil strata. It is called Soil Nail because it’s like having a nail being hammered into the soil. Soil nail provides a resisting force against slope failures. Its construction process is faster than other similar methods.

Soil nailing has been used regularly over the last few years over traditional cut retaining walls due to several reasons. For example, it is ideal for tight spaces, less noise and fewer traffic obstructions, less impact on surrounding areas, lower load requirements than tieback anchors systems and so on.

Soil nail components may also be used to stabilize retaining walls or existing fill slopes (embankments and levees); this is normally undertaken as a remedial measure. Since its first application using modern techniques in Versailles in 1972, soil nailing is now a well-established technique around the world.
