Analysis with SnailPlus
Assumptions made: Two different soil types • Gravel/Sand • Bedrock Loading • Temporary Max: 700 psf from construction • Permanent Max: 200 psf from traffic Morgenstern-Price • General limit equilibrium (Moment-force) FHWA factors of safety used

Final Design
• 10ft from road edge • 120ft in length • 17 Total Soil Nails • Average height, 6ft • Max height, 13ft INITIAL CONCEPTION OF WALL SHAPE CREATED SLOPE IN AUTO CAD UNIFIED DESIGN 1/2 THE DISTANCE FOLLOW SLOPE OR WHAT OPTIMIZED FOR CONSTRUCTION
Phase 1 Site Preparation
• Conducted during low traffic flow • Close southbound lane • Flaggers to direct flow of traffic through single lane Environmental Impact Reduction (3 lines of defense) • Excavated 5ft bench • 1ft silt fence installed 20ft below excavation line • Exposed Shoreline
Phase 2 Excavation Slope Preparation
• 5ft bench approximately 10ft out from edge of the road • Excavation of 1,000 cubic feet • Soil relocated to holding site
Phase 3 Soil Nail Installation
• Williams Geo-Drill Injection Anchor System with rotary percussive drilling • In case of hitting hard rock, a Polyester Resin Rock Anchor System may be used
Phase 4 Prefabrication of Rebar Cages
Phase 4: • Constructed offsite due to limited space • 75 year design life, hot-dip galvanizing
Phase 5 Installing Rebar Cages
• Challenge will be mobility and visibility of excavator • Guided into place by multiple workers located on bench The key to the project was contstruction speed 8 in mat Number 6 rebar Tied together Bring in on flat bead and then drop in excavator secure them in place
Phase 6 Shotcrete
• Two step process using wire mesh as backstop for shotcrete • First day application spraying towards the road, second day other side is applied A problem (wall needs concrete) solution we could pump it with shotcrete Bench was created for workers to stand on No wall – wire mesh 2 sided
Phase 7 Installing Drainage System
Phase 5: • Composite Drainage system • Drainage system includes: geosythetic filtered fabric and molded plastic core
Phase 8 Anchor to wall Attachments
• Bearing plate, hardened washers, hex nut, and Geo-Drill Injection Anchor • 75 year design life, galvanizing bearing plate and hardened washers and capped with a steel tube filled with cement grout
Phase 9 Backfill
• Using the soil from the excavation, backfill at 8-12in lifts • Compact soil with plate compactor attachment while avoiding soil nails • Increased bar size to improve bending strength in the case of accidental contact with compactor
Phase 10 Phase 11 Capping Cleanup
Phase 10: • Last 4-6in of backfill will be filled with cement to cap off the retaining system • Reduce permeability of surface and prevent corrosion Phase 11: • Remove silt fencing and any loose material • Add soil to bench to create a more natural slope • Application of hydroseed to slope to promote vegetation growth

Conclusion
A soil nail retaining system is the best option for this project • Adaptable – Depending on what is encountered during construction this design can easily be modified to meet the needs of the project • Cost Effective – With little excavation near the road, a temporary wall will be unnecessary • 75 Design Life – Simple methods that can be implicated to increase design life
