:In this modern era, improvement of ground is necessary for every projects. Various ground improvement techniques have been developed over the past few years. Increasing the load carrying capacity by inserting steel bars generally termed as soil nails was one of the techniques. In this study, hollow aluminium tubes were used as soil nails for improving the ground performance. Further these tests are compared with normal unreinforced soil. Parameters considered for the study are nail inclination and soil slope. Three nail inclinations were considered for the study i.e. 00,150& 300 with horizontal and two soil slopes i.e. 450 and 600 and by considering the parameters such as soil material, nail material, slope height, nail length and nail pattern as constant parameters. Model tests were performed for soil slope with different conditions of nail inclination. Obtained results were compared with the conventional unreinforced soil slope for each case and curves for load vs. settlement were developed for the same. From experimental results, Soil slope with 00 nail inclination with horizontal gives the maximum load carrying capacity in all cases, followed by 150 nail inclination with horizontal and then 300 nail inclination with horizontal.
