There are some methods to treat minor slips:
(i) Adoption of smaller diameter size bars at closer spacing;
(ii) Installation of tie beams at the same horizontal levels;
(iii) Provision of steel wire meshes in-between soil nails; and
(iv) Provision of short soil nails in combination of long soil nails.
This question is taken from book named – A Self Learning Manual – Mastering Different Fields of Civil Engineering Works (VC-Q-A-Method) by Vincent T. H. CHU.
