A reinforced concrete slab or block which interconnects a group of piles and acts
as a medium to transmit the load from wall or column to the Piles is called a Pile
Cap. The Pile cap should normally be rigid so as to distribute the forces equally on
the piles of a group. In general it is designed like a footing on soil but with the
difference that instead of uniform reaction from the soil, the reactions in this case
are concentrated either point loads or distributed.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

3. Introduction
• Micropiles were conceived in Italy in the early 195Os, in
response to the demand for innovative techniques for
underpinning historic buildings and monuments that had
sustained damage during World War II. A reliable method
was required to support structural loads with minimal
movement and for installation in access-restrictive
environments with minimal disturbance to the existing
structure. An Italian specialty contractor called Fondedile,
and Dr. Fernando Lizzi developed the technique.
• The use of micropiles has grown significantly and have
been used mainly as elements for foundation support to
resist static and seismic loading conditions, and as in-situ
reinforcements for slope and excavation stability.
4. • Piles are divided in two general types as
a) Displacement piles
b) Replacement piles
Displacement piles are members that are driven
or vibrated into the ground, there by displacing the
surrounding soil laterally during installation.
Replacement piles are placed or constructed with
in a previously drilled borehole, thus replacing the
excavated ground.
A Micropile is a small diameter (< 300mm), drilled and
grouted pile that is typically reinforced.
5. Classification of
Micropiles
1) Based on Design Application
Case 1: Micropile elements,
which are loaded directly &
where the pile reinforcement
resists the majority of the
applied load.
Case 2: Micropile elements
circumscribe and internally
reinforce the soil to make a
reinforced soil composite
that resists the applied load.

building

7. Applications
• For Structural support (Case 1)
a) New Foundations
b) Under pinning of existing structures
c) Seismic retrofitting of existing structures
d) Scour protection
e) Earth retention
• In situ Reinforcement (Case 2)
a) Slope Stabilization
b) Earth retention
c) Ground strengthening and protection
d) Settlement reduction
14. 2) Based on Construction type
•The method of grouting is generally the most sensitive
construction control over grout/ground bond capacity.
Grout-to-grout capacity varies with the grouting
method.
a) Type A: Gravity Grout
b) Type B: Pressure through Casing
c) Type C: Single Global Post Grout
d) Type D: Multiple Repeatable Post Grout
15. • Type A: Here the grout is
placed under gravity head
only using sand-cement
motors or neat cement.
• Type B: In this type neat
cement grout is placed in
to the hole as the
temporary steel casing is
with drawn. Injection
pressures varies from 0.5
to 1.0 MPa. The pressure
is limited to avoid
fracturing of the
surrounding ground.
Fig1(b): Micropile classification based
on type of grouting.
16. • Type C: This is done in two step process:
1) As of Type A
2) Prior to hardening of the primary grout, similar grout
is injected one time via a sleeve grout pipe at
pressure of at least 1.0MPa.
• Type D: This is done in two step process of grouting
similar to Type C with modifications to step 2 where
the pressure is injected at a pressure of 2.0 to 8.0
MPa:
17. Advantages of Micropiles
• Micropiles are often used to underpin the existing structure
where need of minimal vibration or noise is of prime
importance.
• Micropiles can be easily laid where low head room is a
constraint.
• Micropiles can be easily installed at any angle below the
horizontal using the same equipment used for ground
anchors and grouting projects.
• Offer a practical and cost-effective solution to costly
alternative pile systems as well as a solution to job sites
with difficult access.
• Do not require large access road or drilling platforms

22. • The design is done similar to end bearing drilled shafts
or driven piles or may be based on previous load test
experience of similar projects.

23. Group effect of axially loaded
Micro piles
• For driven piles no individual pile capacity reduction
for group considerations with the exception of friction
piles in cohesive soils.
•For driven piles an efficiency factor of 0.70 shall be
applied for piles with center to center spacing of less
than 3.0 times the pile diameter.
24. Micropile structural design
• Pile cased length structural
capacity
For Strain compatibility
between casing & bar the
Yield stress of steel is taken
as follows:
Fy-steel= min. of Fy-bar & Fy-casing
Where, Fy-steel = Yield stress of
steel
Fy-bar= Yield stress of bar
Fy-casing= Yield stress of casing Fig2(a): Details of a composite
reinforced micropile
25. Pile cased length structural capacity
• Nominal allowable tensile strength can be determined by the
following equation:
Pt-allowable=0.55fy-steel [Abar+Acasing]
Compression-allowable load
Pc-allowable=0.4f’c-grout Agrout+0.47 fy-steel [Abar+Acasing]
Where, Pt-allowable = Allowable structural tensile strength
Pc-allowable = Allowable compressive strength
Agrout = Area of grout; Abar = Area of reinforcement
Acasing = Casing area
26. Pile un‐cased length structural
capacity
The tensile & compressive allowable loads for the uncased
bond length is given below:
Cased bond length(plunge length) allowable load=Ptransfer
allowable is given by
Ptransfer allowable =αbond nominal
/(S.F)strength*3.14*diabond*plunge length
Tension allowable load
Pt-allowable=0.55*Fy-bar Abar+Ptransfer allowable
Compression allowable load
Pc-allowable=0.4f’c-grout Agrout+0.47 Fy-bar Abar+Ptransfer allowable
28. Design Example
•Design micro piles for an embankment with
top width of 4.0m width and 2m high with 1:2
slope on both sides with unit weight of
embankment fill of 17 kN/m3 on a soft soil to
improve the bearing capacity in a uniform
deposit of medium clay with unconfined
compressive strength of 100 kN/m2. Consider
the dia. of micro pile as 0.1m with a minimum
spacing of 3 times center to center.
29. Given,
Unconfined compressive strength of soil, qu=100 kPa
cu=qu/2= 50 kPa
Point load capacity of single pile is given by
Qpu= cu*Nc*Ap
= 50*9*0.785*0.12
= 3.53 kN
Skin friction resistance of single pile
Qf = α*cu*As
= 0.9*50*3.14*0.1*10 = 141.3 kN
30. Ultimate capacity of single pile Qu = 3.53+141.3 = 145 kN.
Total load from the embankment (including 20 kPa of
surcharge)= (4+4+4)17+20x4= 284 kN per metre length of
the embankment
Ultimate load capacity of the pile group of 3 piles spaced
at 0.3m = 435 kN.
FS= 435/284 = 1.53. Hence configuration of micro piles
with the above ultimate capacity is appropriate.
32. • Yield strength of casing Fy-casing =240 kPa
•Use reinforcing bar of yield strength of 415MPa of
25mmφ
• Grout compressive strength =30 MPa
• For strain compatibility between casing and rebar, use
for steel yield stress:
• Fy –steel= the minimum of Fy-steel and Fy-casing= 240 MPa
33. • Nominal allowable tensile strength can be determined
by the following equation:
Pt-allowable=0.55fy-steel [Abar+Acasing]
=0.55*240*3944
=520.608 kN
Compression-allowable load
Pc-allowable=0.4f’c-grout Agrout+0.47 fy-steel [Abar+Acasing]
= 530.55 kN
34. Allowable Geotechnical Bond Load
• From Table 1(a) select an ultimate unit grout-to-
ground bond strength
αbond nominal strength =190 kPa.
Allowable geotechnical bond axial load capacity, PG-allowable can
be determined by the following equation;
PG-allowable=αbond strength ˣ3.14ˣφbondˣbond length/S.F
=190*3.14*0.1*10/2.5
=238.64 kN
42. Concluding remarks
Use of Micro piles is versatile in situ ground
improvement technique and has been used very
effectively in many stability problems.
In many cases, micro piles are loaded tested
following typical codes of practice (FHWA, pile load
tests of Indian Standards etc). to measure the
vertical and lateral capacities of the piles which are
required in the validation of the design configuration
and redesign if required.
