Micropile Definition
A micropile is a small-diameter (typically less than 300 mm (12 in.)), drilled and grouted nondisplacement pile that is typically reinforced. A micropile is constructed by drilling a borehole, placing steel reinforcement, and grouting the hole. Micropiles can withstand relatively significant axial loads and moderate lateral loads. Micropiles are installed by methods that cause minimal disturbance to adjacent structures, soil, and the environment. They can be installed where access is restrictive and in all soil types and ground conditions.

Where to Consider Micropiles project has restricted access or is located in a remote area; required support system needs to be in close pile proximity to existing structures; ground and drilling conditions are difficult (e.g., karstic areas, uncontrolled fills, boulders); pile driving would result in soil liquefaction; vibration or noise needs to be minimized; hazardous or contaminated spoil material will be generated during construction; and adaptation of support system to existing structure is required.

Summary
The hollow bar, used as both drill rod and grout conduit, is left in the ground as reinforcing steel to transmit compressive, tensile, and lateral forces. Hollow bars have a larger section modulus than solid bars. With the continuous tremi-grout injection, 100% grout cover and therefore excellent corrosion protection is accomplished, similar to reinforcing steel in concrete.

Micropile Load Tests There are four types of test loading: compression test uplift or tension test lateral-load test torsion-load test
