• Abstract:
  Soil nailing is a technique to reinforce and strengthen the existing ground. The use of soil nails in combination with a shotcrete construction facing and a final structural facing can be a cost effective alternate to other wall types in cut situations. The purpose of this Demonstration Project is to facilitate the implementation of soil nailing into routine transportation design and construction practice. This Demonstration Project is intended for Federal, State, and local government engineers involved in the design or construction of retaining walls; particularly walls in cut situations. Technology implementation will be accomplished by classroom instruction and field assistance on introductory projects.
