Comparative Analysis of Pull-out Test Methods between Anchor and Soil Nailing
Many inspectors can't distinguish between anchor rod and soil nail,which leads to the confusion of terms and incorrect selection of test methods.There are many standards and large gaps between the test meth-ods of each standard at present.When unfamiliar with the standard,the test and data analysis can't be carried out correctly,which has a great impact on the testing work.In this paper,various standards are compared and studied in detail,and the definitions of anchor rod and soil nails are clarified.The similarities and differences of each standard are summarized through the comparative analysis of the sampling basis,technical requirements,load classification,stabilization time,standards,test termination conditions,and qualification judgment of the pull-out test,which is convenient for inspection personnel to learn and refer to.
