Structural Performance of a steel Braced Battered Micropile Group Footing System

This thesis evaluates the structural performance of a steel braced battered micropile group footing system. The first part examines the durability and service life of the steel footing components in various environments. The second part evaluates the connection interaction between two different configurations of steel plates and micropiles through finite element analysis and laboratory experiments. The last part focuses on the soil micropiles interaction using finite element software and validate with field tests results. The conclusion drawn from this study suggests that current micropiles are suitable for temporary applications and can be considered as an alternative solution in small scale projects.
