Three-Dimensional Modeling of Spatial Reinforcement of Soil Nails in a Field Slope under Surcharge Loads

Soil nailing has been one of the most popular techniques for improving the stability of slopes, in which rows of nails and a structural grillage system connecting nail heads are commonly applied. In order to examine the spatial-reinforcement effect of soil nails in slopes, a three-dimensional (3D) n...
