MICROPILE DESIGN

Introduction

Micropiles are common used as the remedial option or underpinning structures

with foundation problems. This is mainly due to the local geological factor of the
krastic features in limestone formation after the shallow depth.

Besides its high carrying capacity, less site constraint problems and self sustained
operation due to it light and compact drilling rigs and other ancillary
equipments. The sized of pile is vary from 100mm to 350mm with the capacity of
150kN to 2000kN respectively.

Procedures of micropiles construction involving are below;

i. Install of permanent steel casing,

ii. Drill to hard layer, determine the rock founding level and drill to required
socket length

iii. Base cleaning with air compressor flushing.

iv. Install of reinforcement bar according drawing

v. Grouting by tremie method with HDPE pipe

SITE INVESTIGATION REPORT

The independent tester was engaged by the Main Contractor and both BH7 and
BH9 were carried out by Advantage Geotest Services Sdn. Bhd after the working
platform ready at Reduced Level, RL 9.34m

The rock founding level is relatively 2.6 to 2.7m from the working platform. The
shallow rock layer had narrowed the selective of type of pile. Shallow follow (pad
Footing) will need to deep excavation to 3m depth. Non displacement pile such as
spun pile and R.C pile will not gain friction along the pile due to short pile with
soft layer silty Clay with SPT N value varies from 3 to 4.

Limestone was found after the soil layer, weather limestone with high Total Core
Recovery, TCR% which 100% for BH7 and BH9. The Rock Quality Designation,
QRD% values are varies which high at the top and gradually reduces to deeper
depth. Which the upper part of rock is high weathered rock and become moderate
strong after certain depth. Besides a cavity was found at BH 9 depth 4.04 to
4.42m which
ROCK QUALITY DESCRIPTION BASED ON RQD.

RQD Value Description of Rock Quality

0-25 % Very poor

25-50 % Poor

50-75 % Fair

75-90 % Good

90-100 % Excellent

The table presents the correlation of RQD to rock quality.

GEOTECHNICAL CAPACITY DESIGN

Ultimate bond stress at the grout / rock is dependent on strength of grout , rock
and soil strength, quality of contact interface resulting from drilling, cleaning
and grouting operation.

When rock is encountered, following values are adopted: -

Allowable rock bearing is conservatively taken as 0.3 x quc, rock un confine

compressive strength (Poulos and Davis 1980), value of 0.2 quc is adopted for our
design

Ultimate skin resistance is taken as 0.1 quc, using safety factor of 2, allowable
skin resistance is taken as 0.05quc however, value not exceeding 0.02 quc is
adopted in our design

Following values has been adopted depending on unconfine compressive strength

of rock

Therefore both structural and geotechnical design of the pile capacity of 500kN
with 6m > 4.85m required socket length for the highly weathered limestone
formation by assuming skin friction of 300N/mm.sq is SUFFICIENT
