Pile Geotech Design (Engineersdaily - Com)

The document summarizes the design of a micropile with a diameter of 1000 mm. It includes calculations of the pile capacity based on SPT boring log values down to a depth of 24 m, determining the pile has a capacity of 8741 kN. It also calculates the structural capacity of the pile using concrete grout and either an API pipe or rebar reinforcement, finding capacities of 5811.8 kN and 8966.8 kN respectively, sufficient for the specified working load of 8000 kN. Details of the pile dimensions and materials are also provided.
