Abstract
In this paper, the performance efficiency and stability of two full-scaled nailed structures were monitored and compared. In the first setup the nails are inclined above horizontal where the nail inclination is below horizontal in the second setup. Thus, the efficiency of the soil nailed walls with nail orientations above horizontal is observed. In the literature, the installation of nails above horizontal were neither mentioned nor applied. The analytical and field tests for the soil-nailed structures with nails installed at angles above horizontal gave better results in means of factor of safety with respect to the soil nailed structures with downward inclined nails.
