Abstract

This paper is the State – of – the – art of studies that were conducted on the influence of nail shape for stability of slope. The soil nailing is one of the soil stabilization technique which is used as a remedial measure to treat the unstable natural or artificial slopes. Nailing is a technique used to achieve the stability of the slope by introducing a nail into the slope. Nail is a fundamental element in soil nailing. Generally every mass of soil which is bounded by a slopping surface is subjected to shearing stresses on nearly all its internal surfaces because of the gravitational forces which tend to pull the upper portions of the mass downward towards a more nearly level surface. The slope stability is generally effected by strength of soil, type of soil and stratification, discontinuities and planes of weakness, presence of ground water table and seepage through the slope, external loading and the geometry of the slope. All the various parameters that effects the factor of safety of slope is studied but the nail shape with nail inclination is never studied before.
