Bearing capacity of the micropile root section

The micropile bearing capacity can be determined computationally using one of the approaches available in the literature and standards. The program "Micropile" provides a set of methods representing the basic approaches to the solution of bearing capacity of the micropile root. The analysis is accrued out according to setting in the frame "Analysis methods" employing one of the following procedures:

Lizzi theory - average limit friction on root skin is specified
Littlejohn theory - grouting pressure is specified
Zweck theory - method depends on geostatic stress and soil parameters of surrounding soil
Bowles theory method depends on geostatic stress and soil parameters of surrounding soil
Véas theory - the way the micropile is built and soil parameters of surrounding soil are specified
root in rock - rock parameters of surrounding soil are specified
