Hello all,
I want to calculate how much tension is being mobilised in each nail in a reinforced slope system. Can someone point me to a reference? or tell me how I can do this? btw I am using limit equilibrium analysis, more precisely method of slices (No FEA)

Would you design a soil nail system with such a layout( refer to attachment)? if not, why?
equilibrium analyses show its stable. but what happens to all the soil below the nails?
my problem lies in accouting for porewater pressure. the ground level is well below the slope and my worry is rainfall infiltration. i have designed it using the full horizontal seepage( worst case, very conservative) but ive clearly ended up with an over over-design.
What would you do for...
Hey all, im designing a cofferdam. We have to quantify the seepage but we are missing permeability values.
what Ive got here is a soft clay (Cu=30kN/m2), a firm clay (Cu=60kN/m2), stiff clays(100kN/m2). These values have been estimated from SPT N values. We also have the densities for each...
Hey all, Im designing a cofferdam for the construction of a pad 3.5m x 3.5 m pad foundation, therefore a short term structure. Cofferdam is to be circular. The ground is a fully saturated sitly clay, fairly dense. there is a river about 300m away.
In determining water pressures, my guess is...
