The　composite　soil　nailing　systems　are　considered　to　be　effective　to　reduce　deflections　of　excavations,　so　that　they　can　be　applied　to　the　excavated　cases　which　are　close　to　roads,　pipes,　and　structures　where　surrounding　strate　movements　are　not　permitted.　A　case　of　application　of　the　composite　retaining　structure　of　soil　nails,　anchors　and　micro-piles　in　excavation　engineering　close　to　an　expressway,　was　demonstrated.　The　technical　essentials　of　design,　construction,　and　field　measurement　of　the　engineering　were　expounded　in　considerable　detail.　The　stability　analysis　was　carried　out　based　on　different　engineering　cases　considering　load　distribution　of　expressway　automobiles　and　the　deflection　control　standards　and　measures　were　drawn　up.　The　anchor　hole　was　bored　by　pushing　jacket　tube　to　prevent　drill　bit　from　being　withheld　in　the　uneven　distributed　subsoil　which　consisted　of　gravel　and　clay　filling　to　be　filled　layer　by　layer.　The　measured　data　shows　that　the　maximum　horizontal　displacement　of　the　expressway　pavement　on　the　excavation　top　is　limited　to　the　value　less　than　10　mm　and　meets　the　requirements　of　deflection　control　standard,　and　the　pre-stressed　anchors　are　effective　measures　to　control　the　horizontal　displacements.
