Abstract according to the submitted technical paper
Micro piles are widely recognized as a common remedial option for underpinning structures with foundation problems and as well as a common foundation option. This research is to study the behavior of effect in the capacity of micro piles, embedment length and carry out laboratory tests for ground to improvement sandy soil by using micro piles. The study shows the effectiveness of improving the sand around piles in increasing the embedment length of piles and diameter of piles in the groups. The study outlines the behavior of 9 in total 3 x 3 pile groups with different pile lengths or different embedment lengths, different pile spacing and different pile diameter in the group. The study is also analyzed using FEM 3D foundation Softening Percentage and the result s from Laboratory and finite element analysis are compared.
