Nail force

The nail force is determined based on the location of its intersection with a slip surface. If a nail is found completely in front of the slip surface, then it does not enter the calculation.  If a nail crosses the slip surface, then its force is determined as: 

where: x - nail length behind slip surface in direction of soil body
y - nail length in front of slip surface
Rf - nail cap bearing capacity
Rt - nail strength against breaking
Tp - pull-out nail bearing capacity
