Effectiveness of Micro-Pile Installation Configuration for Increasing the Ultimate Shallow Foundation Bearing Capacity on Soft Clay Soil
Abstract:Soft clay soil is known for low bearing capacity and is prone to soil collapse under shallow foundations through Local Shear Failure. An approach to enhance the load-bearing capacity of such soil is by adopting micro-piles as reinforcement. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of micro piles in strengthening shallow foundations on soft clay soil through laboratory-scale testing. The soft soil used comes from kaolin clay characterized by a cohesion (cu) of 20.692 kN/m 2 and water content (wc) of 58.63… Show more
