16. Abstract
This document presents information on the analysis, design, and construction of soil nail walls inhighway applications. The main objective is to provide practitioners in this field with sound and simplemethods and guidelines that will allow them to analyze, design, and construct safe and economicalstructures. This document updates information contained in FHWA-SA-96-069R (Byrne et al., 1998).The focus is on soil nailing techniques that are commonly used in the U.S. practice. The contents of this document include: an introduction, a chapter on applications and feasibility, descriptions andguidelines for field and laboratory testing in soil nailing applications, descriptions of the common U.S. practice, analysis and design of soil nail walls, chapters on contracting approach and technicalspecifications and design examples. Because of the popularity of the Allowable Stress Design (ASD)method [also known as Service Load Design (SLD)] among practitioners, the methods presented in thisdocument are based on the ASD method.
