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:
- Bowlese
- Lizzi
- Littlejohn
- Zweck
- Véas
