The Uplift Problem
What are GEWI (Micro)piles?
Case study
Conclusion
What are Micropiles?
Different pile types
Driven piles (steel, concrete, cast iron,)
Bored piles (reinforced concrete)
Micropiles (GEWI-Piles, Hollow bars, ....)
10
What are Micropiles?
Development since 1950 (Prof. Lizzi)
Piles for compression and tension
Load transfer via skin friction from grouted

steel element
Borehole dia. up to 300 mm
11
What are GEWI-Piles?
Micropiles with a GEWI-bar as load

bearing element
can be loaded with tension, compression

or alternating loads
very flexible and robust solution, because

of the unique thread of the GEWI-bar
12
GEWI-Piles
Advantages through GEWI-steel
Robust thread
Screwable in every section
Easy assembly of accessories
High relative rib area (0.075 to 0.080 )

excellent bond / load transfer
13
GEWI-Piles
Advantages of entire GEWI-Pile-System
Double corrosion protection protects piles

even in aggressive soils
Optimization of load transfer by use of post

grouting systems
Different steel grades and diameters for economic

solutions
14
Available types
BSt500S, GEWI, 20 50 mm

Installation of GEWI-Piles
GEWI-piles are installed in a pre-bored

hole and are grouted in there
GEWI-piles need no prestressing loads

and accordingly no penetration of the
bottom slab

Conclusion:
Continous thread over the full length:
Connect to existing or precast structures
Load tests can be done easily
Verify characteristic of soil
Determine actual skin friction
41
Conclusion:
Small drill hole diameter:
Use of compact drilling machines
Drilling trough concrete and rocks
Work from very small platform
Less excavated soil
Reduced construction time and cost

42
Conclusion:
Various:
No protrusion of slab easy sealing
No prestressing required
More than 30 years experience
Excellent corrosion protection with DCP
