The micropiled raft (MPR) offers an efficient foundation system that combines the advantages of micropiles and piled rafts that can be used as primary foundation system or to …
The micropiled raft offers a foundation system that combines the advantages of the conventional piled raft and the efficient installation of micropiles. In this paper, a …
The overall behavior of a micropiled raft foundation (MPR) system is similar to a piled raft foundation where the load is transferred by both the raft and micropiles. However, there is no …
Initial applications of micropiles have involved retrofitting foundations of existing buildings. In these applications, the overall performance of the micropiles–raft (MPR) foundation system …

A micropile is a small diameter “cast-in-situ” pile which was initially used to repair historic buildings. In this paper, a numerical analysis was conducted on the performance of …
One of the major disadvantages of micropiles is their low lateral stiffness and flexural rigidity due to the small diameter. This limitation can be handled in current practice, by installing the …
This paper used finite element modeling to evaluate the consolidation effect on the performance of existing rafts underpinned with micropiles under combined vertical and …
This research aims to investigate the applicability and performance of piled rafts in soft clay. This aim has been achieved by studying how the pile length, pile number, raft-soil relative …
