Manual for Design and Construction Monitoring of Soil Nail Walls.

PB97136659

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Byrne, R. J.; Cotton, D.; Porterfield, J.; Wolschlag, C.; Ueblacker, G.
Page Count	554
Abstract	The purpose of this manual is to facilitate the implementation of soil nailing into American transportation design and construction practice and to provide guidance for selecting, designing, and specifying soil nailing for those applications to which it is technically suited and economically attractive. A comprehensive review of current design and construction methods has been made and the results complied into a guideline procedure. This manual is practitioner oriented and includes: description of soil nailing concept and applications; summary of experimental programs and monitoring of in-service walls; recommended methods of site investigation and testing; recommended design procedures for both Service Load Design (SLD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD); worked design examples; simplified design charts for the preliminary design of cut slope walls; wall performance monitoring recommendations; discussion on the practice and quality control of shotcrete application in soil nailing; discussion of contracting procedures and guidance on the preparation of plans and specifications; guide construction specifications and example plan details; quality control checklist for soil nail design and construction; presentation of procedures for determining the structural capacity of nail head connectors and wall facings, including demonstration calculations.
