pullout failure, nailing, nailing in cohesionless soil, pullout resistance
Abstract
Soil nailing is a construction remedial measure to treat unstable natural soil slopes or as a construction technique that allows the safe over steepening of new or existing soil slopes. There is failures of soil nailing and most happening failure is a pullout failure, so there is a need to identify the pullout resistance of the soil before any construction of soil nail and it’s become compulsory if the soil is cohesionless, because pullout failure is generally happen in a cohesionless soil. This paper gives the experimental study to identify pullout resistance of soil in horizontal direction in a cohesionless soil.
