Effect of Diameter of Micropile on the Minaret Behavior during Earthquake, Virtual study

This study aims to suggest a technique for soil properties improvement of AL- Kadhimin shrine Minaret and support the foundation, which has tilt roughly 80 cm from vertical axis. The is made up four minarets with two domes set in large courtyard. have skewed varying degrees due uncontrolled dewatering inside recent years. However, northeast minaret was most inclined its proximity well placed When near operated, water level drops, increasing effective stresses causing differential settling foundation. To maintain minaret's foundation potential lateral stresses, micropile system been proposed around it. PLAXIS 3D used do three-dimensional numerical analysis this study. A several diameters considered suggested technique. In analysis, modeling verification findings revealed that plays significant role incrementing load resistance (earthquake).
