Item Seismic Behaviour of Soil Nailed Wall(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Amrita; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Shivashankar, R.Soil nailing is a technique used to stabilise steep cut slopes and to retain excavations. The method consists of inserting nail bars into the ground either by drilling or by grouting. The present study evaluates the seismic behaviour of a soil nailed wall supporting a vertical cut of height 6 m. The finite element analysis has been carried out to study the stability and performance of the soil nailed wall using ANSYS software. The seismic resistance of the wall is analysed under the El-Centro ground motion. The seismic response variation for different parameters such as angle of inclination of nails and soil strength properties are studied. The maximum lateral displacements and acceleration response of soil nailed wall are evaluated under static as well as dynamic conditions. The results of the study indicate that soil nailed system imparts stability to the retaining system under dynamic conditions. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Dynamic Response of Soil Nailed Wall(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Amrita; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Shivashankar, R.Soil nailing is a technique used to stabilize steep cut slopes and to retain excavations. The method consists of inserting nail bars into the ground to stabilize the soil mass. The present study evaluates the dynamic response of a soil nailed wall supporting a vertical cut of height 6 m. The finite element analysis has been carried out to study the stability and performance of the soil nailed wall using PLAXIS 2D software. The seismic resistance and failure mechanism of the wall are analyzed under the El Centro ground motion. The seismic response variation for different parameters such as angle of inclination of nail and length of nail is studied. The results are observed in terms of maximum lateral displacement, development of maximum tensile force in nails and failure mechanism of soil nailed wall under static and dynamic conditions. The results of the study indicate that the soil nailed structure is an effective method which imparts stability to the retaining system under dynamic conditions. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
