Facing plates and bearing plates na critical components in soil nailing systems, dey serve as primary load-distribution interface between reinforced soil masses and external environment. Bearing plates, wey dem usually fabricate from structural steel or reinforced concrete, dey position at nail head locations and function to transfer tensile forces from installed soil nails into surrounding soil matrix. Dese plates dey engineer to distribute concentrated loads across wider area, preventing localized stress concentrations wey could lead to failure or excessive deformation. Facing plates work in conjunction with bearing plates to create unified load transfer mechanism, supporting various facing systems including shotcrete, precast concrete panels, or articulated lagging while providing protection against surface erosion and soil raveling. Design and selection of facing and bearing plates depend on nail spacing, anticipated loads, soil strength characteristics, and specific requirements of geotechnical application.
