| Abstract: | A simplified analytical formulation is presented for the mechanism by which micropiles surrounded by compacted sand control
the upward movement of lightweight buildings over expansive soils. This formulation identifies the significant variables influencing
the performance of micropile reinforcement. A design methodology for micropile reinforcement utilizing the resulting formulation
is proposed and illustrated by a hypothetical example.
