Micropile Lifetime
The micropile lifetime is introduced by reducing the area of the reinforcing tube using the reduction coefficient of the influence of corrosion of steel tube re and coefficient Fut taking into account the connection of the micropile and the surrounding soil.
where: | D | - | external diameter of reinforcing tube |
t | - | wall thickness of reinforcing tube | |
Fut | - | coefficient taking into account the connection of micropile and surrounding soil (0,5 -1,0) | |
re | - |
