Mechanism of Soil Nails

Explain the fundamental mechanism of soil nails in enhancing soil stability?

E

Expert

Verified

The Soil nails enhance slope stability by:

a) Partial rise in the normal force and shear resistance all along potential slip surface in the frictional soils.

b) Direct reduction of driving force all along potential slip surface for frictional and cohesive soils.

c) Soil nail head and facing gives containment effect to limit the deformation close to the slope surface.
