An Experimental Study of Nailed Soil Slope Models: Effects of Building Foundation and Soil Characteristics

A soil nailing system is a proven effective and economic method used to stabilize earth slopes from the external (factors increasing shear stress) internal decreasing material strength) failure causes. The laboratory models with scales of 1:10 are study behavior nailed slope different building foundation parameters. consist Perspex strips as facing steel bars increase stability slope. sand beds formed using an automatic raining system. Devices instruments installed monitor soil-nailed during after construction. effect type, angle, width position on force mobilized in nail, lateral displacement slope, settlement pressure at face, under behind mass various pressures, has been observed. It found that density reduces both settlements. face footing will near crest
