II SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL

1 Definition of product and intend~d use
1.1 Definition of product
The European technical approval (ETA) applies to a kit, the

Self-drilling soil and rock nail

DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System
Type R32-210 to R51-800
The self-drilling soil and rock nail DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System is applied for geotechnical
engineering and is comprised of the following components.
- Load bearing member - hollow steel bar
- Drill bit
- Couplings to connect the hollow bars
- Anchorage components for connection to the structure or the facing
- Corrosion protection system
In Annex 1, the assembly of the self-drilling seil and rock nail DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System is
shown.
The nail system comprises the types listed below.
- R32-210, R32-250, R32-280, R32-320, R32-360, R32-400
- R38-420, R38-500, R38-550
- R51-550, R51-660, R51-800
NOTE Hereby R means the rolled rope thread, the numbers 32 to 51 the nominal diameter of
the hollow bar in mm and the numbers 210 to 800 the nominal maximum force of the
hollow bar in kN
Annex 2 lists the essential characteristics of the load bearing member, the hollow bar. The
specified load bearing capacity of the nail is not reduced by couplings or anchoring elements.
The nail is installed by rotary-percussive drilling with a sacrificial drill bit. The drill bit is selected
according to the geotechnical conditions on the construction site and screwed onto the hollow
bar. Subsequently, the hollow bar is connected to the shank adapter or rotary injection adapter
(flushing head) of the drilling device. The hollow bar can be extended by screwed couplings,
which are locked by the percussive drilling device. Filling of the annular or flushing cavity with
cement mortar or graut is achieved by the ho!low bar and the drill bit and can take place
simultaneously with drilling the nail via a flushing head or subsequently via an injection adaptor
screwed onto the ho!low bar. The grout body formed after reaching the target depth of the nail
transfers the load to the borehole wall.

1.2 lntended use

Soil and rock nailing is a construction method to maintain or enhance the stability of soil or rock
by the installation of reinforcing elements (nails) following the execution principles of geotechnical
works. By nailing the reinforced soil or rock builds up a retaining structure.
Within the composite body made of reinforced soil or rock the nail are predominantly stressed by
tension loads. In addition, bending and shear stresses are possible as weil. The structure shall be
designed as to achieve a redundant system by the nailing.

Principles governing the field of application and execution are specified in the standard for seil
nailing, EN 144905 , which was prepared as code of practice, and includes information for the
execution of seil nailing works, geotechnical investigations, construction materials and
construction products, considerations related to design, execution sequences, as weil as
supervision, testing and monitoring during construction. The Annexes A to D give information on
practical aspects of soil nailing including design principles, and testing of soil nail systems.
The working life of the nail structure is defined for the following applications.
- Temporary nail „„.„„ Nail with a working life of up to 2 years
- Permanent nail „ .. „ „ . Nail with a working life of up to 50 years, depending on the ground
conditions and with sacrificial corrosion for the time-dependent corrosion
behaviour
To reduce the corrosion rate (sacrificial corrosion), depending on the ground conditions, the nail
system is also manufactured in a hot-dip galvanised variant. The accessories are galvanised as
weil.
The provisions made in the European technical approval are based on an assumed working life
of the nail system of two years for temporary nails and 50 years or less than 50 years for
permanent nails, depending on the ground conditions, when installed in the works according to
standards and regulations in force at the place of use. The indications given on the working life
cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the manufacturer or the Approval Body, but are to
be regarded only as a means for selecting the appropriate products in relation to the expected
economically reasonable working life of the works.

2 Characteristics of product and methods of verification

2.1 Characteristics of product
2.1.1 General
The components of the self-drilling soil and reck nail DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System as weil as
the assembled system correspond to the drawings in the Annexes of the European technical
approval. The material specifications, dimensions and tolerances of the components not listed in
the Annexes shall conform to the respective information in the technical documentation 6 of the
European technical approval.
2.1.2 Components
2.1.2.1 Load bearing member - hollow steel bar
The load bearing member is a longitudinally HF-welded tube in steel for quenching and
tempering, made of a low alloyed steel strip with trimmed weid flashes. Calibration to the
desired dimension is effected by a warm stretch reduction. The hollow bar meets the
requirements of EN 14490 on metallic reinforcement.
The hollow bar provides a continuous cold rolled left-handed rope thread, R, along its entire
length. The rolled thread corresponds to a rope thread in accordance with ISO 1720 or
ISO 10208. The average thread height of 1.6 mm and the pitch of 12.7 mm are the same for alf
types of hollow bars. Annex 3 includes a description of the thread profile.
In Annex 2 the main dimensions and strength characteristics of the hollow bar are given. The
characteristics of the hollow bar are determined in accordance with the requirements of
EN 10080 for reinforcing steel. When considering corrosion rates, a loss of cross-sectional area

M ember of EOTA

in accordance with Annex 7 has to be considered, which results in a reduction of load bearing
capacity.
The hollow bars shall neither be Welded nor bent.
During installation of the nail, the hollow bar functions as drill rod.
Standard lengths of hollow bars are 3 or 4 m. Other lengths may be agreed at the time of
enquiry and order.
2.1.2.2 Drill bit
The drill bit type shall be appropriate for the selected diameter, the planned nail length, the
intended cement graut cover and the expected geotechnical ground conditions. lf required, an
expert possessing appropriate knowledge and experience should be consulted.
The self-drilling soil and rock nail DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System works with a sacrificial drill bit.
The drill bit is screwed onto the hollow bar and used for drilling the borehole, forming the graut
body with cement mortar or graut and finally remains in the ground. The hollow bar is thereby
utilised as drill rod. The drill bit has no function for the installed nail.
2.1.2.3 Couplings to connect the hollow bars
Using couplings, the nail can be extended to the required length. The couplings are
manufactured from seamless tubes of low alloyed steel for quenching and tempering. For every
nominal diameter of the hollow bars one single coupling is designed, see Annex 4, to meet the
respective load bearing capacity. The internal thread is machined with a central thread stop.
Hollow bar and coupling shall be locked with a torque according to Annex 4.
During the drilling process torque and impact energy shall be limited to the pairs of values
specified in Annex 10.
2.1.2.4 Anchorage
The nail head comprises a square domed plate or a square flat plate of structural steel with a
countersunk bore hole and a hexagonal nut made of steel for quenching and tempering that
features a convex shape on one face. For every nominal diameter of the hollow bars one single
hexagonal nut is designed to meet the respective load bearing capacity. Preferably the domed
plate should be used for small hollow bar types and with a direct bearing on shotcrete, concrete
or rock.
The nuts are shown in Annex 4 and the anchor plates in Annex 5. The types of plates are used
as follows.
- Type R32-210 to R51-800 domed plates
- Type R32-360, R32-400, R38-500, R38-550 and R51-800 flat plates
The plate is placed perpendicular to the axis of the hollow bar. Small angular deviations are
compensated by the convex shaped face of the nut. At the facing the anchorage of the nail is
realised by manual tightening of the nut.
The nail force is transferred into the facing trough the nail head. The facing has to be designed
in accordance with EN 1992-1-1. lf required punching resistance has to be verified.
2.1.3 Corrosion protection
2.1.3.1 General
,·

The use of temporary and permanent nails is subject to the standards and regulations in force
at the_place of use.

2.1.3.2 Temporary nail

Corrasion pratection of the temporary nail is achieved by a 20 mm thick cover of cement mortar
or graut to the load bearing mernber. The minimum cover shall be ~ 15 mm. Spacers ensure the
required thickness of the cover of cement mortar.
2.1.3.3 Permanent nail
By reference to EN 14490, Annex B.3.4, classes of ground aggressiveness and corrosion rates
for achieving the intended working life are defined. Also section 7.6 of the micrapile standard,
EN 14199, contains similar information, and Annex D of the same standard includes values of
corrasion rates for steel in various soils. The same values are also listed in Table 4-1 of
EN 1993-5.
The following techniques are applied
- Definition of corrasion rates (sacrificial corrasion) depending on the ground conditions for
bare steel, whereby the system-inherent encapsulation with cement mortar or graut is left
unconsidered.
- Definition of corrosion rates (sacrificial corrosion) depending on the ground conditions for
hot-dip galvanised steel, whereby the system-inherent encapsulation with cement mortar or
graut is not left unconsidered. The applied zinc layer thickness typically is ~ 85 µm.
The seil nail standard EN 14490 also contains a classification of the corrasiveness of the
graund and provides data for the corrosion behaviour according to the Seil Nailing
Recommendation Clouterre (1991 ). Compared with the values of Table 2 and the Annexes 7
and 9, the corrosion depths according to EN 14490 is higher and can by agreement be applied
aswell.

- With a prism compressive strength of the cement mortar of ~ 55 N/mm 2, the characteristic
band strength is 5.1 N/mm2
- lf a corrosion rate is allowed for, the loss of cross-sectional area shall be considered in the
verification of the load bearing capacity. Annex 7 lists the respective lasses.
2.2.4 Corrosion protection
2.2.4.1 Temporary nail
Corrosion protection of the nail is achieved with a 20 mm thick cover of cement mortar or graut
to the load bearing member. The minimum cover shall be ~ 15 mm. Spacers ensure the
thickness of the cover of cement mortar.
2.2.4.2 Permanent nail
2.2.4.2.1 General
The self-drilling soil and rock nail DYWI® Drill Hollow Bar System defines corrosion rates
(sacrificial corrosion) for a working life of maximum 50 years, depending on the ground
conditions and disregarding the system-inherent cover of cement mortar, for
- Bare nails
- Galvanised nails
Further requirements regarding corrosion protection shall be derived from a critical evaluation
of the structure and from the environmental conditions. In particular a redundant construction
ensures that even with premature failure of individual nails, the load bearing capacity of the
nail structure is still maintained. Constructions with only one single nail shall not to be
executed.
To avoid the formation of macro elements in moist soils, a conductive connection of the nail
and the reinforcement of the adjacent structure is to be avoided. lf required, additional
measures, e.g. the arrangement of separating layers shall be provided for, see Annex 6.
The mean zinc layer thickness is typically ~ 85 µm.

2.2.4.2.2 Corrosion load

EN 12501-1 and EN 12501-2 are to be taken as a basis to evaluate the corros ion load of
metallic materials in the grounc;I. The corrosion load is classified as
Low
- Medium
- High
The principal physical and chemical parameters of the ground are given in EN 12501-2.
Annex B of this standard contains detailed information on data to be collected for ground
classification.
An assessment of the various corrosion loads is carried out by an informative listing of the
most important ground parameters. These represent the basis for specifying the respective
corrosion rates of the nail and are summarised in Table 1.

Corrosion of the hot-dip galvanised nail only commences after degradation of the..zinc layer
and leads to a delay in corrosion of the steel and thus to an increase working life.
The nails are hot-dip galvanised ' according to the requirements of EN ISO 1461. The mean
zinc layer thickness is typically ;:::: 85 µm.
2.2.4.2.4 Corrosion rate (sacrificial corrosion)
Annex 9 and Table 2 include guide values for sacrificial corresion depths of bare and hot-dip
galvanised nails in grounds, derived from the results of long-term exposures. The sacrificial 1
corresion depths for a low, medium and high corrosion load and a working life of 2, 7, 30 and
50 years is specified. The values are rounded by approximately 0.1 mm. :!

The nail length is attained by connecting the hollow bars with couplings. Thereby the hollow bars
are locked with the drilling equipment to at least the specified torque according to Annex 4.
Filling of the annular or flushing' cavity with cement mortar or graut takes place via an injection
adapter. Using a rotary injection adapter (flushing head), filling is performed simultaneously with
drilling.
All installed nails have a system-inherent graut body between the nail and the borehole wall. The
cement mortar or graut shall conform to EN 14490. The cement type shall be selected depending
an the aggressiveness of the graund in accordance with EN 206-1 . The water-cement ratio shall
be appropriate for the actual conditions an the construction site. Alternatively, graut according to
EN 445 to EN 447 may be used.
After hardening of the cement mortar, the anchorage is installed. The nut is tightened manually.
With reference to EN 14490 tests an installed soil nails to verify the pull out resistance and the
creep behaviour should be performed. The number and frequency of the tests shall be defined
taking into account the consequences of failure in the structure. The static load test of soil and
reck nails should be carried out in accordance with EN 14490, Annex C. The maximum test force
should not exceed 80 % of the nominal maximum force, Fm. nom. and 95 % of the nominal yield
