The earth nailing system is a ground improvement technique used to stabilize slopes. behavior of the dependent on soil and characteristics, such as spacing between nails, orientation, length, method installation properties, slope height angle, surcharge loading, among others. In present study, three-dimensional physical model was built simulate nailed with scale 1:10 various nail characteristic...
