Investigation of nailed slope behaviour during excavation by Ng centrifuge physical model tests

Physical modelling applied to infrastructure development

“…Two papers from the same group investigate walls reinforced with soil nails. Sabermahani et al (2018) investigate the optimal arrangement of nails within an irregularly shaped excavation whereas Akoochakian et al (2018) consider a more regular, rectangular excavation. The motivation for both these pieces of work relates to maximisation of available space during urban development.…”
