Type of physical disaster Earthquake / Heavy snow / Heavy rain
Classification
Details of physical disaster types Slope failure / rock fall

Concept and mechanism

1. What is the relevant feature of this technology?
・By installing soil nail on the slope at equal intervals, attaching pressure plates (ES plates) to them, connecting the
cables in a grid pattern and tightening the nuts of the soil nail, tension is generated in the cables and the interaction
between these causes It is a technology that prevents the collapse of the surface layer by integrating the ground and the
surface
2. Whatlayer
is theofconventional
the slope. technology supported by this technology?
・In the past, soil nail were installation on slopes at equal intervals, and concrete was sprayed onto them, and Concrete
grating crib method + soil nail method was used. All existing trees were cut down before construction because existing
trees would hinder the installation of Concrete grating crib work.

3.What are the public works projects to which this technology applies?
・Slope protection method

Effect of technology
・By changing the surface structure from a concrete grating crib to a cable wire, it is possible to construct an existing
trees without cutting it.
・No need to spray cement material, so no dust is generated.
・Since member assembly is easy and construction can be performed using general tools, no skilled workers requiring
special skills are required.
・The construction period can be shortened by about 30% to 40% compared to the conventional method. (Depending on
construction conditions)

・The unit price for construction will vary depending on the specifications of the soil nail
calculated by slope stability calculation.

END

The A net construction method is applicable to the following slopes for the purpose of
improving the stability of slopes.
1) Slope failure and collapse with relatively small required prevention force.
2) The slope is gentler than 63.3 degrees. ( 1 : 0.5 )
