Abstract
A pile connection comprises at least one fixture having a collar portion, a plurality of micropile sleeves, a plurality of gusset members extending between the collar portion and the micropile sleeves, and at least one connecting member that couples adjacent gusset members and that is spaced apart from the collar portion. A recess bounded by a wall of the collar portion is configured to contact a portion of a vertical pile. One or more fasteners may be used to press the wall against the vertical pile, with certain embodiments employing two complementary fixtures that may be coupled to one another (e.g., using the fasteners) along opposing sides of the vertical pile. Each micropile sleeve is configured to receive a micropile that may be driven through the sleeve into the ground at a position spaced apart from the vertical pile.
