Soil consolidation refers to the mechanical process by which soil changes volume gradually in response to a change in pressure This happens because soil is a two phase material comprising soil grains and pore fluid usually groundwater When soil saturated with water is subjected to an increase in pressure the high volumetric stiffness of water compared to the soil matrix means
A retaining wall serves the same purpose as a soil nail wall to hold back sloped or excavated soil However the process of constructing a retaining wall is a bit different Instead of inserting long steel rods into the soil a
Soil nail walls can be considered as retaining structures for any permanent or temporary vertical or near vertical cut construction as they add stabilizing resistance in situations where other retaining structures e g anchor walls are commonly used and where ground conditions are suitable The relatively wide range of available facing systems allows for various aesthetic
During the excavation process to produce a retaining wall soil nails form part of a passive system to reinforce and temporarily support the existing soil or weathered rock Soil nails hold the earth in place allowing for successful permanent retaining wall construction erosion control rock slope stabilization and landslide prevention
