To consider the group effects…
a k b k = 1
a p (Cray Ground) = 1.0
a p b p (Sandy Ground) = S/D ( 3)≦
To consider the group effects of trailing piles…
Transverse Resistance Characteristics of Pile
1) Study new correction factors for a single pile, fitting with Case 1 test results
2) Study new correction factors for group piles, fitting with Case 3 test results 3) Analyze Case 4 to Case 6, using new correction factors

Summaries
• Results of horizontal loading tests → Existing foundations with micropiles have a
large retrofitting effects.
→ Spacing has little effect on retrofitting.
→ Retrofitting effects are counted by installing
micropiles incliningly.
• Results of simulation analyses → It is possible to use the ductility design method
to perform retrofitting design.
