Code of practice for strengthened/reinforced soils. Soil nail design
Also Known As:
What is this standard about?
It provides design guidance for stabilizing soil slopes and faces using soil nails.
Who is this standard for?
Why should you use this standard?
BS 8006-2 gives recommendations and guidance for stabilizing soil slopes and faces using soil nails. It is a code of practice with information pertinent to UK practice. There is no corresponding European or international standard.
Other methods of stabilization using reinforced soil methods are given in BS 8006-1:2010+A1:2016 and both parts might be needed for complex structures. Additional considerations might be required for unusually loaded or high soil nailed slopes, or where they interface with other structures.
NOTE: While BS EN 1997-1+A1:2013:2004 on geotechnical design specifically excludes soil nailing, BS 8006-2 is intended to harmonize the design approach of soil nailing with other geotechnical structures designed using BS EN 1997-1.
