Experience with friction-micropiled-raft foundation on soft soils

摘要

A new foundation system for buildings on soft soils using micropiles is reported in this paper. The presented friction-micropiled-raft foundation has successfully been realised for new buildings on soft soils to stabilise the underground and reduce the settlement. An exemplary comparison of practical projects in terms of measured settlements of a raft foundation with the friction-micropiled-raft foundation on normal consolidated soft soils has proven the effectiveness of the new foundation system.
