COVER STORY

16 Novel Soil Nail Wall for Building Stability
Yaser Taheri, P.E., Max Schisler, P.E. and Tai Luu, P.E.
Protecting the Carnegie Building from nearby building construction was a vital
consideration during expansion of the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology in
New Jersey. Because the historical building sits atop a complex subsurface profile, an
active soil nail system was used to limit disturbance to the structure, increase site safety
and shorten the construction timeline.

81 Cable Car Network Micropile
Foundations
Freddy Lopez, Mariano Saucedo and Daniel
Gonzalez
This article provides a case study on the
use of micropiles instead of massive
shallow foundations for two lines within
the La Paz cable car network in South
America. Due to local site limitations,
groups of self-drilling micropiles were
designed and implemented for five towers
of the Metropolitan Cable Car Integration
Network, the largest and highest tram
network globally.
