Tokyo IWM August 2004 PRESENT ISSUES IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUTION OF MICROPILE SYSTEMS Prof. Roger FRANK CERMES (ENPC-LCPC)
1) Present state of European Norms (design, construction and testing) 2) Need for well documented field tests and case histories 3) Control of installation effects
CEN/TC 250 Date: 2004-08 EN 1997-1 CEN/TC 250 Secretariat: NEN Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design - Part 1: General rules Eurocode 7 Entwurf, Berechnung und Bemessung in der Geotechnik – Teil 1: Allgemeine Regeln Eurocode 7 Calcul géotechnique - Partie 1: Règles générales ICS : 93.020; 91.080.01
Under preparation : Euronorm on pile load tests (from ETC3 work)
2) Micropile design from well documentedload tests and case histories
AXIAL LOAD ON VERTICAL PILE Force (kN) ( compression ) Depth z (m)
AXIAL LOAD ON INCLINED MICROPILE Force (kN) ( traction ) Depth z (m)
_______ Movement of the water level ( sea tide, river flow) _______ Wooden piles : B = 0,30 m s/B = 4 Micropiles : B = 0,22 m s/B = 10
STABILIZATION OF THE SETTLEMENTS AFTER MICROPILES INSTALLATION
RAILWAY EMBANKMENT STABILIZED BY MICROPILES : Additional settlement due to the installation of the micropiles
