Remarks : 1) Rc;d = 0.515 × fck × Ag + 0.87 × fyk × As

where fck : Characteristic cylinder strength of grout
fcd : Design compressive strength of grout
f cd = (αcc × fck) / (γC × kf) = (0.85 × fck) / (1.5 × 1.1) = 0.515 × fck
fyk : Characteristic yield strength of reinforcement
Ag : Cross-sectional area of grout
As : Cross-sectional area of reinforcement
2) The micropile ultimate structural capacity should be greater than the design actions
from all load combinations.
3) Design is based on the structural Eurocodes.
4) This is a general guide only, subject to prevailing soil conditions.
