Mini piles foundation involves driving piles into the ground in order to reach a stable stratum beneath. This is done in a number of ways, and the method chosen depends on factors like soil type and project requirements. During the process, grouting may be used to enhance load-bearing capacity. Different types of grouting can be used depending on the type of project and soil conditions.

Piles are a versatile solution for many projects. They are suitable for a range of geological conditions and can be installed in challenging spaces that are not easily accessible with other deep foundation methods. They are also a good choice for retrofitting existing foundations and stabilizing slopes.

Building on Solid Ground: The Importance of Mini Piles Foundation

Pile monitoring is a crucial part of the overall design of any structural project. It helps in identifying any potential problems and ensures that the design meets its intended performance criteria. In addition to reducing the risk of failure, it also saves on cost and time.

To monitor the response of mini piles to loading, BX120-5AA resistance strain gauges were attached to the outer side of the diagonal reinforcement of six test piles, as shown in Figure 7. The measurement points were positioned according to the layout and position of the sliding surface in order to minimize errors caused by boundary effects. The resulting shear force distribution curves were similar to those of the model test results. The maximum shear force of the front row piles increased gradually with increasing load. At the critical failure load of 22 kPa, the shear forces at the front and middle rows were close to each other.
