Abstract:Currently, geotechnical staff within Caltrans do not have ready access to detailed information on
previously designed soil nail walls. Much of this information is kept by individual designers, or stored in
paper format, with no organized method of retrieval. Having access to this institutional knowledge
could help Caltrans carry out more effective designs. A wealth of soil nailing project data exists in
literature as well as in state transportation agency records. Once compiled and organized this could
serve as the basis of a high quality geotechnical information repository. This system has potential
benefits to design engineers, consultants, contractors, planners, and researchers.
Deliverables resulting from the project include a design tool, called CalNail, and a database of soil nail
wall case histories. CalNail is a web-based centralized repository of information for those involved in
the design, construction, maintenance, and research of soil nailing infrastructure in California's
highways. CalNail currently hosts over 30 documented case histories for soil nail walls in California.
