The document discusses the design process of micropiles including calculating pile capacity through skin friction and end bearing values at different depths and structural capacity calculations.

The pile capacity is calculated by summing the skin friction and end bearing values at different depths based on SPT values. The skin friction is taken as 2 times the SPT N value and end bearing is taken as minimum of 400N/3 or 10000 kN/m^2.

Two micropile structural designs are discussed - one using an API pipe casing and cement grout and the other using reinforcement bars and cement grout.
