摘要

Micropiles have seen increasing use for foundation support and slope stabilization applications over the past half century. Most often designed and installed in groups of vertical or battered elements or combinations thereof, continued applied research conducted through partnerships established between academia, government and industry has led to the recent development of practical engineering and design guidelines for such micropile systems. In contrast to a group of directly loaded micropiles, the micropile network relies on a three-dimensional array of reticulated elements to encompass and internally reinforce the soil, resulting in a network or "knot" effect. The potential for enhanced engineering behaviour of reticulated micropile network systems compared to that of a group of micropiles has been continually revealed by numerous researchers in the past. The concept is elementary - the roots of a tree interact with the soil to form a composite foundation capable of performance superior to that of the individual parts. However, given the large number of parameters which must be modelled and studied, experimental assessment and rational analysis of the soil-structure system has been difficult and therefore, in contrast to above, reliable design methods have not yet been forthcoming. In a field where practice has always preceded theory, noteworthy international studies, ground breaking experiments and benchmark test programs have been initiated in recent years that have served to validate long-standing assumptions regarding the behaviour of the micropile network. This body of work, having its original roots in Italy, has flourished in recent years in other European countries, including Germany and France as well as Japan and the United States. The rationale for this push for applied research is found in the basic need that exists for the continued development, advancement and deployment of micropile systems in industry in order to provide cost-effective engineering solutions for a variety of foundation and slope reinforcement projects. In an increasingly urbanized environment, the micropile foundation is now often considered equally with other foundation systems of choice, where this was once the exception to the rule. The need to rationally design and engineer these foundation systems has always existed, and always will. One might be inclined to think that the continued demonstration, testing and experimentation in advance or in lieu of proven theory and design might not yield timely results. However, similar to so many other areas of geotechnical research, most modern academic studies conducted today continue to stem from basic theories developed in response to what is first demonstrated in the field. These same theories that are now understood and accepted have their roots in the important lessons learned from past empirical experience. This is particularly true in the international micropile community, where applied research continues to be conducted into micropile foundation systems by a consortium composed not only of academics and university researchers, but also of the industry practitioners and users who, with a focus on basic theoretical and practical principles, have led the way in advancement and promotion of the technology.
