Soil Nail Analysis Program (SNAP-2) Update Announced by the FHWA National Geotechnical Team
The FHWA National Geotechnical Team has announced an update to the Soil Nail Analysis Program (SNAP-2), a geotech software that follows the current FHWA guidelines for designing a soil nail earth retaining structure.
Version 3 of the Soil Nail Analysis Program (SNAP-2) addresses the following issues identified in previous versions:
- The resolution of the search area when working at different scaling factors
- Corrects the safety factor for nail pullout
- Allows more user options for selecting colors within the software
- Fixes some other identified bugs in the software
SNAP-2 v.3 is immediately available for download from the Geotechnical page of the Office of Bridges and Structures website. A direct link to SNAP-2 v.3 software update and users manual can be found here.
