Within the framework of the project Innovations on Stability Improvement enabling Dike Elevations (INSIDE) a new concept ‘dike soil nailing’ is developed, which stands for reinforcing river dikes (levees) by soil nailing. This way dike reinforcement can be achieved without widening the dike. In the present paper a feasibility study for the application of soil nailing in a dike reinforcement project along the Dutch river Lek is presented. Soil nailing design calculations are performed using the calculation models Talren and Plaxis 2D. Verification analysis of the design is carried out using Plaxis 3D Foundation modelling the soil nails as embedded piles. The design & verification analyses lead to interesting matches as well as disagreements between the different calculation models presenting sufficient challenges for further research and development. For the dike reinforcement project in Bergambacht-Schoonhoven the application of dike soil nailing is indeed a feasible and cost-effective reinforcement technique.
