Micro-Pile Foundation Supportoffer expanded opportunities in seismic design.
Continuous and aggressive testing of installed Micro-Pilesprovides valuable information for the Design Professional.Standardized ASTM tests have shown Micro-Piles are capable ofsignificant compressive loads utilizing sub-grade support as wellas higher than expected lateral load capabilities.
In seismic design, the lateral load capabilities are increasinglyimportant as design criteria.
