onstruction of foundation of bridges in remote hilly terrain, in adverse
climatic condition, isvery difficult due to the limited working period and
unavailability of transportation of machinery and equipments as in Leh-Ladakh
region of India. In such situations regular pile foundation is not feasible. The
study was taken up with to carry out experimental design for bridge and ascertain
the applicability of micro-piles as bridge foundation under such adverse
conditions. The methodology included field and lab tests for soil and sub-soil
investigation, vertical and lateral load tests on micro-piles. The design of micro-
pile foundation and sub structure is based on success results of the tests i.e. the
safe load capacity achieved in these tests. Based upon experimental success
results, confirmation for using micro piles was accorded. In future, micro-piles
can prove to be a better solution in where river bed is laden with boulders and
other similar difficult situations
