National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Recommendations CLOUTERRE 1991. Soil Nailing Recommendations-1991 for Designing, Calculating, Constructing and Inspecting Earth Support Systems Using Soil Nailing (English Translation, July 1993).

PB94109980

Publication Date	1993
Page Count	322
Abstract	The Recommendations CLOUTERRE 1991 - constitute the culmination of the French National Project CLOUTERRE, which was conducted from 1986 to 1990 with a total budget of 22 million French francs. These 'Soiling Nailing Recommendations' represent a major contribution to the engineering community interested in the cost effective earth excavation support system known as soil nailing. Nailing, a recent technique of reinforcing in-place soils, started in France in the first wall built in Versailles in 1972. Since then, the French experience has continued to progress to the point that in 1990 more than 100,000 square meters of walls were built on highway, railway, and building construction projects. The remarkable development is due to the two principal advantages of soil nailing: its financial competitiveness compared to other earth support systems and its speed of construction. However, one must also credit the National Project CLOUTERRE that has greatly eased the dissemination of the technology to National and international audiences.
