Abstract
Micropile technology has evolved continuously since its instruction by Fernando Lizzi in the 1950s. The effects of group micropile have been researched by many researchers. The effects of group micropile differ and change with pile length, pile spacing (S), pile angle (${\theta}$) and pile embedded conditions. In the present study, the effects of resistance increase and settlement reduction from micropiles were investigated through a series of axial load tests. For the study, axial load tests were performed using mat, group micropiles and micropiled-raft (MPR) in various pile spacing and pile angle conditions. As the result, the effects of resistance of micropiled-raft were 80% (3D) to 110% (7D) of the total resistance of mat and group micropile. The effects of settlement restraint of micropiled-raft were 20% (S=3D, ${\theta}=45^{\circ}$) to 70% (7D, ${\theta}=15^{\circ}$) of settlement of mat foundation.
