The finite element technique has been accepted as a tool for modeling geotechnical complex processes. In this study, finite element (FE) modeling of various stages of the soil-nailing process, i.e., construction stages and overburden pressure stages,...
The pullout resistance and displacement performance of reinforcement have significant effects on the safe and economic design of a reinforced-soil system. In this study, the nail pullout tests are conducted to assess the pullout behavior of soil nail...
The earth nailing system is a ground improvement technique used to stabilize earth slopes. The behavior of the earth nailing system is dependent on soil and nailing characteristics, such as the spacing between nails, the orientation, length, and meth...
A soil nailing system is a proven effective and economic method used to stabilize earth slopes from the external (factors increasing the shear stress) and internal (factors decreasing material strength) failure causes. The laboratory models with scal...
This study focuses on the stability analysis of slopes reinforced by soil nailing. The effects of slope geometry and nail parameters on slope stability are investigated using PLAXIS 2D. Four different slope angles and three different backslope angles...
Computational modeling offers a cost-effective approach to exploring complex geotechnical behavior. This study uses PLAXIS 2D finite element software to simulate nailed soil slopes under plane strain conditions, with models calibrated against laborat...
The high-filling engineering of airports is common in mountainous cities, and as critical infrastructure for urban development, airports are prone to slope instability under extreme climate and mechanical coupling effects. Therefore, it is essential...
Since the stability of slopes in infrastructures such as road and railroad embankments, excavations, and, in general, earthwork is important, analyzing the stability of these slopes has been one of the main focuses of geotechnical engineers. Although...
Used for soil and weathered rocks, soil nails are rigid reinforcements positioned at certain angles on the ground to provide slope stability. A rigid reinforcement element placed in a well filled with cement grout mix after completing drilling will g...
The effective length of soil nails is one of the critical parameters ensuring the reinforcing effect, and its accurate estimation is of great significance for the safety of the slope and deep foundation pit supporting projects. Traditional quality in...
Soil-nailing is a simple and economical method of stabilizing cut slopes and retaining excavation. Most of the soil-nailing related studies, in particular the experimental work, were conducted in idealized or homogeneous ground, but such a result mig...
Conventionally, a soil nail is a piece of steel reinforcement installed inside a hole drilled into the slope and filled with cement paste (CP) grout. Chloride penetration is a major deterioration mechanism of conventional soil nails as the CP grout i...
To quantitatively compare the carbon emissions between the filled embankment scheme and the excavated graben scheme of railway subgrade engineering, first, according to the life cycle assessment theory, the two schemes were separated into four stages...
Due to the impact of climate change, extreme rainfall events are becoming more frequent, resulting in shallow slope collapse and erosion that trigger debris flows. While traditional reinforcement methods like anchoring and nailing are effective, they...
Soil nailing is a prevalent and cost-effective technique employed to reinforce and enhance the stability of precarious natural or cut slopes; however, its application as a primary support system to prevent collapses or cave-ins during foundation exca...
The performance of soil nailed walls is evaluated based on lateral displacements, especially in high walls. In this study, the displacement behavior of nailed walls, which are frequently preferred in retaining wall systems in hard clayey soils, was e...
Engineering methods such as soil nails, geosynthetic reinforcement, retaining structures, gabions, and shotcrete are implemented to stabilize road cut slopes along mountainous areas. However, these structures are not environmentally friendly and, par...
In Poland, the mining waste from underground coal mines is commonly deposited in surface dump sites, forming slopes or piles of materials dozens of meters high. Because of the loose structure of a mine waste dump slope, landslides may occur after a h...
This paper describes an in-depth soil characterization study in the La Carolina financial district of Quito (Ecuador). As there was very little information available on the geotechnical structure of Quito’s volcanic soil, particularly in this a...
This research delves into the intricate dynamics of landslides, emphasizing their consequences on transportation infrastructure, specifically highways and roadway bridges in North Carolina. Based on a prior investigation of bridges in Puerto Rico aft...
