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 "Micropiles" tab 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 the geostatic stress and soil parameters of the surrounding soil

Bowles theory

method depends on the geostatic stress and soil parameters of the 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

Bustamante

-

method depends on the parameters of SPT or pressuremeter tests (PMT)

CSN 73 1004

-

skin friction on root is specified
