Introduction
Soil nailing is a technique in which soil slopes,
excavations or retaining walls are reinforced by the insertion of relatively slender elements - normally steel reinforcing bars. Soil nailing is used mainly to protect soil slope failure

Literature Review
1960's and earlier in 1961
"New Austrian Tunneling Method" (NATM), in which grouted rock bolts and shotcrete were used for supporting tunnels permanent support of retaining walls in a cut in soft rock in France.
in the 1970's
The use of grouted "soil nails" and driven soil nails, which consist of solid steel bars and steel angle iron, continued to grow in the 1970's, in
in 1972
The first wall built in France using current soil nail techniques was reported to have been built in Versailles Thursday, November22,2012
In the 1991
In 1993 (FHA)
Federal Highway Administration published its "Manual for Design and Construction of Soil Nail Walls.

Slope Failure
What is slope failure ?
-The slope can not support itself - Gravitational and seepage forces cause disturbing force - If disturbing moment > resisting moment Slope will failure

Soil uses
Soil nailing is used to reinforce -tunnels wall support -soil cut slopes -retaining wall support -excavations, -disturbed terrain and -natural hillsides stabilize

- In slope stability calculations, the result needs to obviously ensure that the resisting forces are greater than the force tending to cause slope failure.

Conclusion
-Soil nail construction has been shown to be a simple technology and does not need complex machines. -This method can provide a lower construction, period, and can provide good stabilize for slope failure. - Soil nailing has some advantages and some limitation. So, proper investigation and design should be taken. - soil nailing should be avoided in some cases
