Soil-nailing-technique of soil reinforcement

Abstract

Soil-nailing tehnika se vec dugi niz godina u svetu uspešno koristi za stabilizaciju i ojacenje zemljanih masa. U nizu geoloških formacija soil-nailing potpornim konstrukcijama se daje prednost u odnosu na tradicionalne metode podgradivanja. Nažalost u našoj zemlji potencijal ove metode do sada nije potpuno iskorišcen. Ideja autora ovog preglednog rada bila je da inženjere i projektante gradevinske struke bliže upozna sa mogucnostima koje ova inovativna tehnologija pruža. U radu su sažeto prikazane osnovne karakteristike, istorijat razvoja, tehnicki aspekti, oblasti primene i prednosti i ogranicenja sistema soil-nailing. Soil nailing is being successfully used for many years all over the world to improve stability of excavated vertical cuts and existing slopes. In a wide variety of ground conditions soil nail walls present advantages over traditional retaining structures. Unfortunately in our country the potential benefits of this method have not been fully exploited. This review is intended to introduce practitioners to the possibilities that this innovative technology can offer. The paper summarizes the major features, history and development, technical aspects, application fields and benefits and limitations of soil nailing.
