CARBON FIBRE SOIL NAILING FOR RAILWAY EMBANKMENTS

Basic design guidanace is given for soil nailing of railway embankments. In a project to extend the Tyne and Wear metro from Newcastle through Sunderland City Centre to South Hylton it was shown that the high strength to weight ratio of the carbon fibre reinforced polymer nail has reduced the plant and labour required on site, increased production rates and resulted in a 10% saving on a conventional soil nailed solution. For the covering abstract see ITRD E123713.
