This type of measure is used in cases of smaller landslides. The effectiveness of micropiles is linked to the insertion of micropiles over the entire landslide area. In the case of rotational landslides in soft clay, the piles contribute to increasing the resisting moment by friction on the upper part of the pile shaft found in the landslide.

The roof of this industrial building is supported by a space frame structure. If a force is applied to the blue node and the red bar were not present, the resultant effect on the structure would depend entirely on the blue node's bending rigidity, i.e. to its resistance (or lack thereof) to bending; however, with the red bar in place, then assuming negligible bending rigidity of the blue node ...
