Nailed wall is used to support both temporary and permanent structures. The objective of this study is to propose a simplified method of design of nailed soil wall based on experimental investigation and analysis through program SNAILZ. Experimental investigations are carried and to find the influence of nail rigidity number in the failure surface and nail displacement. A simplified method for optimum design of nailed soil wall is proposed based on Nail Rigidity Number (Juran 1990). The SNAILZ program is used to check the validity of proposed method.
