MSE/soil nail hybrid walls
MSE/soil nail hybrid walls
(OP)
Texas Tech has a research project called "Design procedures for MSE/Soil Nail Hybrid wall design". Can anyone help me locate this document or a similar one concerning the global stability analysis of this type of wall system. Design software is readily available to model the walls seperately but not as a system.





RE: MSE/soil nail hybrid walls
I undertand your concerns about global stability. Check out Talren V4. It allows you to model the whole section simultaneously including different reinforcement types such as anchors, nails, grids, strips; construction stages, and load and resistance factors in the same model. Alternatively you could always use any of a number of FEM or FD packages.
Hope this helps.

Do you know when the FHWA design manual will be published? I am looking for information about these type of retaining walls.
Thanks,

Contact Jerry DiMagio at FHWA in DC - he can tell you.
