In most cases in which non-allowable settlement or losing of bearing capacity has been
encountered in geotechnical engineering, employing micropile usually leads to satisfactory …

One of the major disadvantages of micropiles is their low lateral stiffness and flexural rigidity
due to the small diameter. This limitation can be handled in current practice, by installing the …

The micropiled raft offers a foundation system that combines the advantages of the
conventional piled raft and the efficient installation of micropiles. In this paper, a …

Expansive soil is a form of soil that can expand and contract, changing its volume.
Montmorillonite, a mineral with the ability to dissolve in water, makes up the majority of these …

Nowadays, micropiles, due to their capability to sustain high loads in a soft cohesive soil, are
drawing attention from researchers, geotechnical engineers, and builders. However, the …

It is well known that the construction on soft clayey soil is always a great challenge to the
geotechnical engineers. The soft clay poses high compressibility and low bearing capacity. It …

Because of the scarcity of land for urbanization, multistoried construction projects are
becoming a preferred choice. Such projects more often require soil reinforcement or ground …

The ultimate bearing capacity of a foundation can be determined from the load–settlement
response obtained from plate load tests. For clayey soil it is known that the ultimate bearing …

Soil investigation is very important to check the bearing capacity before constructing any
structure. There are different types of soils that cause many problems for the structure in …

So far insufficient research has been done on the long-term behavior of micropiles
embedded in a clay medium, even though this has a significant influence on the expected …
