This study investigates the structural bearing capacity and deformation behaviors of micropiles considering various influence factors including the length (L) of micropiles, outer diameter (d) and wall thickness (t) of steel pipes, diameter (r) and spacing (s) of grouting holes, and water cement ratio (w/c) of grout. Multi-stage axial compressive tests were performed on 20 micropiles to obtain their deformation behavior and axial compressive loads respectively corresponding to the cracking of surrounding grout (Pcr), yielding of steel pipes (Py), and global structural failure (Pult). Experimental results reveal thatPcrandPyare respectively 0.20–0.45 and 0.85–0.95 timesPult. In general,Pultdecreases withL. Increasingdproduces a more significant improvement inPultcompared to increasingt. The influences ofrandsonPultare associated with the weakening of stiffness and strength of the steel pipes. Micropiles with variousw/clevels perform similarPult, whereas their axial displacement atPultincreases withw/c. Under the sameLorw/ccondition, increasingdleads to an obvious reduction in the axial displacement atPult. In the existing criteria, the performance of prediction equations forPultand allowable axial compression load (Pc) was compared and evaluated. Furthermore, several empirical models were proposed to respectively predictPultandPcof the micropiles considering the influences ofL, d, t, r, s, andw/cand achieve well predictions.
