Pile Calculation Using SPT

This document summarizes the design of a micropile with a diameter of 1000 mm. It includes calculations of the micropile's geotechnical capacity based on SPT boring logs, as well as structural capacity calculations for two micropile designs - one using an API pipe and the other using rebar reinforcement. The geotechnical capacity is determined to be 8297.5 kN. The structural capacities are 5811.8 kN for the API pipe design and 8966.8 kN for the rebar reinforced design, both exceeding the required working load of 8000 kN. Details of the micropile designs and materials are also provided.
