Soil Nailing Software Development

Soil nailing is a new slope support technology, compared with other support forms, it iseconomicaland reliable, quick and easy construction, with good prospects,andit has also beenmore widely used in the country. Sometimes soil nailing design will have a significant amountof calculation, andthe process of determining the safety factor’s calculation is morecomplex.It may consume a lot of time, which gives the design and construction a lot oftrouble.It is difficult to ensure the construction is safe and reliable only by supportingexperiences to design, but in practical engineering applications, computing software used inthe design of soil nailing is still relatively rare.Lots of soil nailing works are designed withempirical values, and the security and stability of it is checked by hand calculation, whichundoubtedly increases the workload of engineering staff, but also increases the danger of soilnailing design and construction.Take the actual situation above into considerations, the paper aims at the problemexists in soil nailing structure such as slow speed, complex calculation, combined with theresults of recent studies on soil nailing theory, experiments and engineering applications.Onthe basis of soil nailing theoretical studies,taking the common technical specification for soilnailing as theoretical basis, with Visual studio2010as a development platform, using VBprogramming language, develops a userfriendly interface, simple operation, fast and accuratecalculation of soil nailing calculation software.The design and calculation procedures of soil nailing retainingcan complete thefollowing work: the lateral pressure calculation of soil nailing, the bearing capacitycalculation of soil nailing, the anti-slip stability analysis of soil nailing retaining, theanti-overturning stability analysis of soil nailing retaining, generate design report.Finally, based on specific examples of projects, the software has been tested.Theaccuracy,operability and usabilityof it have proved by calculating the results.
