Micropile – Verification of a tubular micropile

The program GEO5 Micropile verifies tubular micropiles (micropiles reinforced by a steel tube). When calculating the micropile bearing capacity, the program checks both the micropile root and shaft.

Program properties

• built-in database of steel cross-sections
• loading due to normal force and moment Simple input of layer geometry
• built-in database of soils
• general layered subsoil
• check for buckling failure using the following theories:
  • equation of bending of a prismatic beam
  • after Salas
  • after Souch
• verification of the micropile cross-section adjusted for projected lifetime
• verification of the micropile root using one of the following methods:
  • Lizzi
  • Littlejohn
  • Zweck
  • Bowlese
  • Véas
• analyses may be based on the theory of limit states or factor of safety
