Soil nailing is a top-down earth retention method that utilizes a grid of individual reinforcing strands or members installed within a soil mass to create an internally stable gravity retaining wall system. This system relies on slight movement of the soil to mobilize the soil shear strength along the lengths of the nails. This movement puts the largest stress in the soil nail near the failure plane and away from the wall face, allowing for more economical wall construction details.
Foundation Supportworks utilizes the same solid square bar for soil nails that it uses for its tiebacks, Models HA150 (1.50") and HA175 (1.75"). However, unlike helical tiebacks, helical soil nails utilize helix plates of uniform diameter spaced along their entire length.
