Definitions
- the present invention relates to a micropile or tie that is used in construction of buildings or other structures for the anchoring of their structural parts in the ground. More particularly, it concerns a micropile or tie that is fully protected against corrosion.
- Micropiles or ties are generally composed of linear steel members covered by a cement mortar.
- the steel members may have different diameters and shapes and usually allow screwing or fixing of more elements in order to increase their length to the required one.
- the steel members are introduced inside a hole drilled in the soil, masonry work, concrete or other materials.
- the micropiles or ties may carry compression or tension forces from one end to the other.
- the internal strength of the micropiles or ties essentially depends on their diameter. Without any particular protective action, the steel members are subjected to corrosion, which leads to a reduction of their diameter, and thus to their strength. Therefore, it has been found necessary to protect the steel members from corrosion.
- the most common solution consists to arrange a protection duct, in plastics or steel, around the steel member and to inject a mortar inside said protection duct. Thereafter, this protected steel member is positioned inside the drilled hole and a mortar is injected between the duct and the drilled hole.
- this solution still presents two weaknesses. Firstly, the ends of the micropiles or ties, which are not covered by the duct, are not protected against corrosion. Secondly, the connecting regions between two adjacent steel members are not covered by the duct and/or by the mortar. Said regions may thus be subjected to corrosion.

Description
- The present invention relates to a micropile or tie that is used in construction of buildings or other structures for the anchoring of their structural parts in the ground. More particularly, it concerns a micropile or tie that is fully protected against corrosion.
- Micropiles or ties are generally composed of linear steel members covered by a cement mortar. The steel members may have different diameters and shapes and usually allow screwing or fixing of more elements in order to increase their length to the required one.
- The steel members are introduced inside a hole drilled in the soil, masonry work, concrete or other materials. Thus, the micropiles or ties may carry compression or tension forces from one end to the other. The internal strength of the micropiles or ties essentially depends on their diameter. Without any particular protective action, the steel members are subjected to corrosion, which leads to a reduction of their diameter, and thus to their strength. Therefore, it has been found necessary to protect the steel members from corrosion.
- In order to protect the micropiles or ties, different solutions have been proposed in the past.
- One solution consists to inject a mortar between the steel member and the surface of the drilled hole. However, in this solution, a contact between the steel member and the soil may accidentally occur. Therefore, this solution does not warrant a full protection of the micropiles or ties.
- One further solution consists to use stainless steel for the steel member. However, this solution is very expensive and not effective against stray currents.
- The most common solution consists to arrange a protection duct, in plastics or steel, around the steel member and to inject a mortar inside said protection duct. Thereafter, this protected steel member is positioned inside the drilled hole and a mortar is injected between the duct and the drilled hole. However, this solution still presents two weaknesses. Firstly, the ends of the micropiles or ties, which are not covered by the duct, are not protected against corrosion. Secondly, the connecting regions between two adjacent steel members are not covered by the duct and/or by the mortar. Said regions may thus be subjected to corrosion.
