Abstrakt: This article is dedicated to developing a ground improvement technique using vertically oriented reinforcement elements prefabricated utilizing fiberglass pultruded pipe and helical shape wideners at the bottom toe. Structures of the prefabricated helical micropiles varied by the length and cross-section area introduced into the soil massive as reinforcing bearing elements. The effect of the reinforcements geometry variation was investigated through a reinforcement factor ( µ ), based on which a calculation method for measuring settlement of reinforced soil has been previously developed Full-scale field plate load tests were performed before and after reinforcing the soil to investigate the changes in the soil stiffness after the reinforcement process. Comparative analysis between the reinforced and reference soft sandy soil indicates an average increase in the deformation properties of the fiber reinforced soils by 8%, 30%, 63% at the applied pressures of 100, 300, and 550 kPa, respectively. The influence of the fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) geometrical properties on the final composite settlement was determined. A comparative analysis of the calculated and the actual plate load tests results reveals that the previously proposed settlement calculation method is adequate for further development.
