摘要

Slope failures and landslides often result in enormous economic losses, including considerable loss of life and injuries to human beings. To improve the stability of both natural and manmade slopes in geotechnical engineering, researchers require an extensive knowledge of different methods to evaluate slope stability and their limitations. Various methods have been employed to stabilize slopes, with each one finding appropriate under specific conditions. Over the past few decades, applying conventional piles as a means to mitigate active landslides or protect instability in currently stable slopes became a prominent technique for slope reinforcement. In recent decades, stabilizing the slopes using micropiles has become an alternative to conventional piles for reinforcing a diverse range of slopes/landslides due to their successful performance and faster construction. This review paper primarily discusses slope/landslide protection using micropiles based on simplified analytical methods, numerical modeling, and experimental investigations through a review of relevant recent literature.
