Nail Array
Visual Slope is able to perform stability analyses for soil nail/tieback design. A soil nail can consist of a bonded section only or an unbonded section that is followed by a bonded section. The bonded section is the section with grout.
The Nail Array method is an easier way to generate many soil nails of same type and same length at one time. To use the Nail Array method, the user must setup the Soil Nail properties first using the material setup dialog box. After material setup, the user can click Nail Array button on the toolbar. The nail array dialog box will appear. The user must select the soil nail type from the pull down list, and provide the start elevation, end elevation, vertical spacing, angle from horizontal, length of the unbonded sections and the length of the bonded sections to the corresponding boxes. Once the user click the Close button, soil nails will appear on the profile.
