Proposed Specifications for LRFD Soil-Nailing Design and Construction

University of Washington

Open publisher page 32 citations

Abstract

This report contains proposed specifications for the design and construction of soil-nailed retaining structures. Despite their advantages in cut applications, these structures are not available to some state departments of transportation, due to the lack of guidance for their use in AASHTO's standard specifications based on load and resistance factor design (LRFD). This report will be of interest to geotechnical engineers and construction managers, who would like to promote a more common utilization of soil nailing.
