New study on interactional effects of grouting pressure on the displacement of nailing bond

Abstract

The maximum displacement in a soil nail bond system considering the pull-out, overburden load and grouting pressure effects has been evaluated. The Pull-out tests were carried out in five sites that located in Tehran, Iran. Moreover, additional pull-out test data from South Korea is considered. The displacement of the nailing system due to gravity and pressure grouting has been measured. Based on achieved data, four practical relationships between bound strength and pull-out displacements are developed. The parameters overburden load, grouting pressure, borehole diameter, moisture content and soil's strength parameters have been chosen as the major inputs for the relationships. The correlation coefficients of the linear relationship range have been achieved between 0.89 and 0.99. While by using the multi-layer neural network for estimating it has been illustrated approximately 0.95.
