International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure

CIVIL

Executive summary
The report of the ground model is considered based on the soil embankment and soil nailing
features which will help strengthen and increase the stability of the soil structure. Since the
haul road will support the slope, stability plays a crucial role because of the heavy
transportation of weights. In this report, the recommended software for soil nailing and
ground analysis, SNAP_2 has been considered. By using this tool, the nailing and its
placement are also done. The software ultimately gives a brief report regarding the soil
feature, soil nailing, scene of the site, and even the surcharge loading conditions. The design
of the soil embankments has been done considering the contractor’s design guideline of the
soil structure, where the slope is placed with soil nailing. The soil nailing is done to increase
soil stability significantly.

1. Introduction
The term site characterization is the method of getting an idea about the situation that
motivates the installation of format and their actions. "Ground modelling" is the initial
activity that helps the geoscientist to carry forward the characterization of the site effectively.
It is generally an efficient path to integrate different kinds of sites for the dataset of
characterization such as seismic profile, terrain maps, samples of geotechnical and geological
and the parameters of soil. In this study, the main approach in the case of ground modelling
utilizes the most available information of data to make structure updated collection of data for
the investigations of the site and the programs as well. It also helps in gaining the highest
value for money form the field programs. In this report, different sorts of aspects will be
taken into consideration such as the drainage and groundwater system in the ground model
construction, analysis of the slope, compared with different sorts of design and many more.
2. Outline the scope of the report
The scope of the steep excavation project of the road construction industry will be helpful in
future perspectives. The use of the proper and effective design of the steep excavation
technique will develop the objectives of the construction of roadway networks. Proper
analysis will be essential for the creation of a blueprint of the construction-related process
and its prospective issues. The construction of steep-slopes may be hazardous in the future
perspectives. The proper planning and effective analytical techniques will be helpful for the
creation of the project of steep excavation techniques. The availability of skilled labour and
workforce will be a major challenge because this technique of steep excavation requires very
scientific and error-less calculations. The functional aspects of geological and technical
aspects for the steep excavation process. Also, the safety guidelines in the future maintenance
of this project are very important so that functional prevention of less harm and injury can
occur.
