    The document summarizes the use of micropile foundation systems for railway bridge structures. Single steel tubes with external diameters of 114.3mm or 127mm and thicknesses of 10mm or 12.5mm were typically used, but in areas with weak organic soils, double steel tubes were adopted to prevent buckling. The outer tube had dimensions of 219.1mm x 10mm and the inner tube was 114.3mm x 10mm or 127mm x 12mm. Load tests showed the piles had a carrying capacity of 1000kN.

    ABSTRACT:

    Cement mortar (W/C~0.5) grouted, single steel tubes with 114.3mm/10mm or


    127mm/12.5mm external diameter/thickness were generally adopted as micropiles. However,
    where extremely weak organic and/or peat layers encountered at shallow depths, double steel
    tubes, 219.1mm/10mm (fyk=355MPa/ fyk=560MPa) outer tube and 114.3mm/10mm or
    127mm/12mm (fyk=355MPa/ fyk=560MPa) inner tube, were adopted to avoid buckling which
    was governing the design.

    The carrying capacity of the piles was calculated as 1000kN .The predictions for the carrying
    capacity of the micropiles were verified by Static Load test.
