Slope reinforcement and the use of structural pile elements can be an effective slope remediation alternative when conventional remediation practices (e.g., improved drainage) fail to consider the causal factors leading to slope instability (e.g., strength loss due to weathering). An experimental research program was aimed at developing a rapid, cost-effective, and simple remediation system tha...

When underground space requires excavation in areas below the water table, foundation system suffers from buoyancy, which leads to uplifting of superstructure. A deep can be used; however, cases where a hard layer is encountered, high driving forces and corresponding noises cause civil complaints urban areas. Micropiles an effective alternative option, due their performance despite short instal...

The interaction mechanism between micropiles and soil landslides is comprehensively investigated through static model tests numerical simulations. results show that the deformation damage mode of mainly bending shear damage. Because deformation, cracks appear at rear front pile, respectively, about three times pile diameter from sliding surface. In addition, plastic becomes more severe when app...

So far insufficient research has been done on the long-term behavior of micropiles embedded in a clay medium, even though this significant influence expected total settlement. This paper considers square foundation placed bed and tested under vertical loads until reached its bearing capacity. Subsequently, plate was underpinned with four micropiles, load test repeated. These data were used to v...

This paper presents a real case study of micropiling process that was developed to stop the continuous tilting 9-story residential building in Dakahlia, Egypt. Shortly after construction building, surface raft foundation exhibited severe settlement problems. In order carry out geotechnical investigation, boreholes were drilled around constructed building. It discovered addition thick, soft clay...

Abstract The micropiled raft offers a foundation system that combines the advantages of conventional piled and efficient installation micropiles. In this paper, comprehensive numerical analysis was conducted on behavior rafts under combined vertical lateral loading using finite element modeling. A model calibrated against full-scale axial field tests is used to conduct analysis. soil profile so...
