Soil improvement can be expressed as one of the most important applied achievements of geotechnical engineering to improve the resistance conditions and properties of soil mechanics in a wide range of soil materials. The purpose of the improvements is to achieve proper resistance of soils (especially loose soils) to failure, which can cause serious damage and costs to construction projects. The micro-pile is one of most effective stabilization methods, which is used in the materials’ limitations and it is more economical than other techniques. The present study is based on investigation on the micro-piles’ performance to the improvement of sandy soil’s slope under dynamic earthquake loading. Methodologically, the finite element numerical method and Plaxis3D software have been used to implement the loading conditions and evaluate the deformations that have occurred in loose body of slope. The modeling process can be divided into two modeling groups, including slope with and without reinforced by micro-piles which is indicate the improvement process based on deformation reduction by stabilization technique. According to the results of the numerical simulation, it has been found that the use of micro-piles can be very effective on slope stability of the excavated trench in loose soil. پرونده مقاله

In the present study, the performance of micro-piles for the improvement of loose sandy soils under dynamic loading on strip foundations was investigated. For this purpose, finite element numerical method (FEM) by Plaxis3D software has been used to implement loading conditions and evaluate deformations in loose sandy soils below the strip. The modeling process includes geometrical, behavioral models, boundary condition, material properties and dynamic modeling which that implemented on both unreinforced and reinforced strip foundation by micro-pile. Based on the results of the study, it can be well stated that the implementation of micro-piles has been able to improve loose sandy soils in strip foundations under dynamic loading conditions. So, the use of micro-communities in improving soil conditions against similar soils can be suggested. پرونده مقاله
