Experimental Investigation of Micropile Stiffness Affecting the Underpinning of an Existing Foundation

Underpinning in an existing foundation with piles is commonly used to improve their load-bearing capacity to allow vertical extension works. This study evaluated the effect of the piles’ stiffness on the load-sharing behavior of existing and underpinning piles during the vertical extension...
