Soil Nail Wall Deformation
Soil Nail Wall Deformation
(OP)
See page 95 (PDF page 117) of the file at the following link.

It relates to the design of soil nail walls, Figure 5.18 (b) essentially says that the nail "head" will move inward (ie into the soil) at ultimate load. This is opposite to the direction of the applied force.
This does not make sense to me. At ultimate I would expect that the soil nail (which is in tension) elongate and move outward.
Can someone explain what is going here?
Thanks

So I find it hard to believe that the figure is incorrect

I think you are absolutely right. The initial position should be moved to the right on Fig. 518 (b). There is also a mistake on Fig. 518 (a). The arrow pointing to the circle around the nail should be labeled "Fracture on internal face".
Looks like a slip in editing the document.
