Introduction
Soil nailing was first implemented in 1972 for a railroad project near Versailles, France. It is a construction technique which reinforces unstable soil slopes such as excavations and retaining walls. This technique inserts slender elements, usually reinforced steel bar, into soil slope to provide passive loads to the ground. Different types of soil nailing includes grouted nail, driven nail, self-drilling soil nail, jet-grounted soil nail and launched soil nail.

Favorable condition
In preliminary analysis, the site needs to match up a favorable condition for soil nailing, and both the advantage and disadvantage required to be considered for the site, otherwise another soil improve method would be used instead.
The suitable soil type to apply soil nailing is stiff to hard fine-grained soils, dense to very dense granular soils with apparent cohesion evenly weathered rock and glacial soil. The reason why these are the suitable types of soil is that during the construction, a one to two metres soil surface should be able to stand for a minimum 2 days after excavation. Therefore, soil nailing is not suitable for dry and cohesionless soils.
Another important condition requires to be made in preliminary analysis is the water level. Soil nailing better to be installed at a level above groundwater table. If not, engineers should check the overturning and sliding failure in design to make sure that the soil nailing structure can deal with the negative effects caused by water table. A high groundwater table can lead to trouble in drilling and excavation and corrosion of reinforced steel bar.
The advantages and disadvantages of soil nailing technique are always be...

• Drainage behaviour: Piezometre pipe need to install behind the face for monitoring any seepage effect on the nailing wall. In case there is some grout leakages within the wall will increase the permeability and ground water dam up, an unfavorable “wet” condition for nailing wall may cause failure. It is recommend measuring it every two wet season.
• Magnitude and position of maximum nail load: Strain gauges need to be attached to nail bar to measure the strain. Deformation or elongation of steel nail over time show that the loading exerts by soil may change. The excess loading which over the design loading capacity will make nail be weak and cause failure. It is important to check and monitor frequently.
• For the spacing, a consideration should be done for the depth of compressible layer, permeability of soil and location of ground water table. As well as that when compacting for deeper layers a wider spacing should be used compared to upper layers.

Acrylic nails are not new in the market; these nails are in fashion since centuries. The Egyptians were the first one to introduce
To establish a durable foundation for success, it is necessary to have clean and evenly-filed nails. Using a nail file rather than a nail clipper will allow enhanced control to achieve one’s desired shape; a nail clipper is more suitable for removing a hangnail rather than trimming nails evenly. One can follow the natural contour of their nails or perhaps trim their nails into a new shape. While filing, it is crucial to avoid moving in a sawing motion, as this can damage the nail and prompt the desired shape to become increasingly elusive. Rounded nails are less likely to break when compared to triangular or square nails, as they do not catch on objects
Artificial nail structures are applied to enhance the natural nail by increasing its length, improving overall appearance and to strengthen and repair.
Nail designs covered in school or training include full coverage, half-moon, hairline, and free edge. These are basic nail techniques. In modern times, it’s an everyday thing to see a person with acrylic nails. In fact, they have become an integral part of fashion. Although these nails seem easy to apply, they involve intricate design and a steady hand with a focused mind, as they are more complicated than press-ons.
This soil is geographically associated with Atsion, Berryland, and Downer soils that were discussed above. Galloway series soils have a taxonomy class of mesic which is the lower level of soil taxonomy temperature scale. The distribution of the soil is through New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware, Maryland, and Delaware. The vegetation developed with the galloway soils are wooded areas that are heavily dominated by mixed oaks, sweetgum, red maple, pond pine, and loblolly pine. Major uses of the Galloway soils are cultivated crops that consist of corn, soybeans, hay, and truck crops. Loamy soil loses the quality of nutrients when it is strictly compacted because it depletes the organic matter, dispersing clay throughout the now compacted soil. Usually loamy soil can be found useful in farms and is used for its crumbly and soft conditions. Another way loamy soil can be used is for the construction of building homes. The development using this soil would be post and beam construction layering the soil within the walls to control humidity and air

To ensure validity, measure abiotic factors including soil temperature, light intensity, soil texture, and soil pH
Taylor and Marr (2012:10), urge that project managers or technical officers conduct post-construction inspections that only focus on checking that the pipes are clear at the and do not check if the culverts are clearly installed. The incorrect installations will typically show within the first few years after the installation. Infrastructure companies are giving their junior installers formal education and refresher trainings to their senior installers and also a penalty for failing culverts (Taylor and Marr,
This paper reviews various methods used for the stabilization of the soil in the past. Papers summarizes the experiments done by the various researchers. As the soil weakness is the major cause of failure or degradation of structures standing on weak soil. A stabilized soil provides good contact between the foundation and the structure. The transfer of load takes place easily if the soil is stabilized. So the stabilization of soil is required and this paper enlightens some techniques and experiments which was used in the past and were found to be correct in increasing the shear strength of soil.
