So I have two questions in regards to soil nail walls. I posted this in another category by accident but here goes. I've been looking into soil nail wall analysis and haven't been able to find a thread on this yet.
In regards to using Snailz, is there a benefit in limiting the search limit option? I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction to find how far back you need to search in terms of global stability and what justifies limiting your search limits. I know if you don't input it in the program, it automatically figures one for you (2 x H) but I want to know how that length is/should be chosen.
Another thing is picking the design test load. From the few equations I've encountered I keep coming up with values over 70 kips which seem a little too high. How do you calculate this value?
