The Influence of Pile-Driving Vibration on the Soil Nailing Support of a Silty Soil Foundation Pit by Yuancheng Guo, Hao Wu, Chenglin Li

“…The paper studied the effects under different vibration parameters on the soil strength and the nail-soil interface strength by using a vibration exciter and a nail pull-out model box. The results showed that the stronger the excitation force was and the higher the frequency was, the greater the attenuation of the soil strength and nail-soil interface strength was. …”
