45mpiles 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
