The report gives an overview of the German practice of the stabilization of steep slopes using long soil or rock nails instead of prestressed anchors for the stabilization of rock slopes. The nails connect the slide-endangered rock masses with the stable underground and reinforce the front areas of the slopes. The nail heads are, at the same time, used for setting up different systems of prefabricated concrete part lining walls. These walls, in a distance of 0.75 to 1.5 m ahead of the slope surfaces, are filled and backfilled with soil, and then vegetated. The report demonstrates a number of different systems, deals with the dimensioning principles, and gives some instructions for the execution of such stabilization works.
