Two 5.0m high soil nailed permanent retaining walls as a part of a subway underneath a busy National Highway are designed, constructed and in operation at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. The walls are designed by conventional design methods and constructed with different types of facing using locally available technology and personnel. The paper examines the behavior of these soil nailed retaining walls using numerical simulations. The behavior of the soil nailed wall is numerically simulated using FLAC (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua). The paper describes the modeling features such as simulation of excavation, installation of nails and construction of facing element and examines aspects such as variation of lateral earth pressure coefficients, tensions mobilized and deformations developed.
