Micropiles under vertical cyclic loading in cohesive soils

Contact: Dipl.Ing. Jennifer Kleih

actual DIN standard and design guidelines

definition of allowed characteristic load ranges according to the number of load cycles and the characteristic pile resistance. The guidelines are valid for
non-cohesive soils above groundwater level.

investigation program (planned)

field tests in cohesive soils

full scale model test

laboratory tests: cyclic shear tests

cyclic direct shear tests in clay 

finite-element calculations

Testing of existing material models if they are
suitable to model cyclic behaviour of  micropiles
in cohesive soils
