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...

Building foundations are usually retrofitted with directly connected micropiles; however, at the present time, there different approaches for predicting shear capacity in micropile–foundation connection. At first, concrete strength was considered. Nowadays, EU countries, it is prescribed to use of interface between successive casts times. This implies a reduction connection by half, and these v...

Reconstruction and building extensions have become popular trends, even being recognized as one of the most appropriate options for homes, especially in high population density areas or crowded cities. Due to changes size buildings (by applying additional loads), existing foundations themselves are incapable resisting extra stresses. Therefore, it is imperative increase bearing capacity well ov...

construction of railway embankments on loose beds without using any methods of soil improvement (e.g. stone columns in silt and clay beds, deep soil mixing method, jet grouting and also using micropiles individually or in groups form) leads to  reduction of embankment slope gradient, which significantly increases the volume of soil operation. generally, micropile as a reinforcing element with t...
