Reinforcing elements in Soil Nails

Whether sheets or geo-grids can replace reinforcing elements in soil nails?

Where soil nails are projected for increasing the stability of slope of the ground, sheets or geo-grids can hardly substitute reinforcing elements in the soil nails. Practically speaking, reinforcing of the existing slopes limits the type of reinforcing elements to implement. For example, sheets or geo-grids do not have adequate bending stiffness to be inserted into the existing slope and they are frequently placed in soils. The reinforcing elements of the existing ground involves steel bars with the good tensile strength.
