About
Definition
Soil Nail/ Rock Bolt is a remedial measure to treat unstable soil or rock slopes. This technique involves Drilling and insertion of reinforcing bar i.e. Solid bar and Hollow bar ( Self Drilling Anchor) and then grouting.
Types
- Solid Bars
- Hollow Bars
- Cable Anchors
Benefits
Efficient Slope Protection
Soil nails and rock bolts provide more effective slope protection while utilizing less space compared to conventional methods. They are also easier to install in difficult access locations, offering a practical alternative to traditional protective walls.
- Soil Nails/ Rock Bolts are more effective using less space than conventional methods protecting slopes.
- Soil nails / Rock Bolt are easy to install than conventional protection walls on difficult access locations.
Application
Advanced Slope Protection Methods
Soil nails/ Rock bolts are used for protecting slopes particularly having difficult access, space constraints, and in composition along with safety nets.
Tunnel Portals
Tunnel portals are the entry and exit points of a tunnel, designed to provide structural stability and safe access.
Hill Slopes
Hill slopes are inclined landforms that can be prone to erosion and require proper stabilization for safety and sustainability.
Rock Retaining
Rock retaining involves using rocks to create stable structures that prevent soil erosion and provide support for slopes or walls.
Deep Excavated Slopes
Deep excavated slopes are steep, man-made inclines that require stabilization to prevent soil erosion and collapse.
