Soil Nailing in Weathered Keuper Marl
A Reappraisal Using SnailPlus Introduction Baker (1994) describes what is believed to be the first major soil-nailed excavation in the UK, constructed in 1988 at Rover’s Longbridge works. The scheme required a near-vertical excavation, up to 10 m high and 50 m long, to create space for a new paint shop. The excavation was complicated by surcharge loads from nearby structures (a water tank, buildings, and a conveyor bridge), as well as a disused brick-lined tunnel intersecting
Enhancing Geotechnical Design with DeepEX Statistical Analyses
Reliability Analysis VS Deterministic Design Introduction In geotechnical engineering, uncertainty is not the exception, it is the rule. Soil is a naturally variable material, and its properties can change significantly even within a single project site. Deterministic analysis, which relies on single “characteristic” values for soil parameters, often simplifies this variability into a single calculation. While practical, this approach can obscure the real range of possible ou
