Soil nails are structural elements consisting of steel bars integrally connected to the ground and operating in a tension and shear domain; they may lack locking devices external to the borehole.

The application allows determining:

  • Limit shear force of the single nail

  • Ceq = equivalent cohesion due to the presence of the nailing

  • Anchorage length of the bar

  • Pull-out verification of the bar
