Micropile Features
Micropiles canbeinstalledatanglesandare
abletoresistbothaxialandlateralloads.
Micropiles developtheiraxialcapacity
primarilythroughthebondbetweengrout
andsoilorrockinthebondedzoneofthe
pile.Becauseofthis,micropiles provideboth
tensionandcompressionresistancethus
makingthemusefulinavarietyof
