Williams Micropile Remedial Repair Underpinning Brackets
Williams
Williams Form Engineering Corp. offers underpinning Fastening
brackets for compression foundation remediation, ten- Hex Nut
sion/compression foundation remediation and floorslab
remediation applications. Compression foundation reme-
diation and tension/compression foundation remediation
brackets are offered in three sizes ranging from 20 kip
to 63 kip capacities where the bracket is attached to a
grouted micropile casing in medium stiff soils (N>4). The
Adjustment
unbraced length of micropile is minimum 5’; so per sec- Support
tion 1810.2.1 of IBC, a casing length of min 6’ is required Strap Bracket
to resist buckling and bending stresses. Brackets can be Seat
used in soft soils (N<4), however, the capacity may be
reduced as the unbraced length of the micropile would
be greatly increased in weaker soils. Please consult with Williams
a professional engineer to determine allowable working Grade 75
All-Thread
design load. Rebar
See Williams’ “Ground Engineering Systems” for more information on corrosion protection and micropile reinforcing.

Floor Slab Underpinning Bracket (FS)
• Capacity of 11.7 Kips to support and raise existing slab-on grade concrete supported by grouted micropile.
• Bracket should be installed through a 10” diameter hole in the existing floor slab.
• Casing should be set at a sufficient height above the bracket sleeve such that the fastening nuts and support strap
are below the finished floor elevation after the slab has been raised.
• The spacing of the floor slab micropiles shall be the lesser of the slab punching shear capacity and the flexural
strength of the floor slab to span between the piles or the bracket capacity. Consult with a professional engineer to
determine the maximum spacing of the micropiles.
• Excavation under slab required.
