Typical Micropile Capacity (Eurocode)

This document provides typical bored micropile capacities based on grout grade and micropile diameter and reinforcement. It recommends limitations on unfactored design actions on each micropile based on diameter. It also provides minimum recommended headroom above micropiles. The micropile ultimate capacities are calculated based on grout and reinforcement properties. Designers should ensure micropile capacity exceeds load combinations and this is a general guide subject to site-specific soil conditions.

Remarks : 1) Rc;d = 0.515 × fck × Ag + 0.87 × fyk × As


where fck : Characteristic cylinder strength of grout
fcd : Design compressive strength of grout
f cd = (αcc × fck) / (γC × kf) = (0.85 × fck) / (1.5 × 1.1) = 0.515 × fck
fyk : Characteristic yield strength of reinforcement
Ag : Cross-sectional area of grout
As : Cross-sectional area of reinforcement
2) The micropile ultimate structural capacity should be greater than the design actions
from all load combinations.
3) Design is based on the structural Eurocodes.
4) This is a general guide only, subject to prevailing soil conditions.
