In this experimental research, the effect of the number of micropiles, the relative density of soil, and dry stone surcharge on the liquefaction potential of Anzali sand was studied by using shaking table apparatus with the rigid transparent container. The inner sides of the rigid transparent box, installed on the shaking table, were covered with the sheets of foams to reduce generation and reflection of body waves from the rigid sides. Two pore pressure transformers (PPT) were used to monitor the pore water pressure variations. For model preparation, the moist tamping method was used. The grouting operation for the construction of micropiles was performed using a grouting device under the injection pressure of 0.1 bar with a water-cement ratio of 0.5. Three different arrangements of micropiles were used. The equivalent diameter and the length of micropiles were 0.9 and 23 cm, respectively. After 7 days of curing, the model was saturated from the bottom of the tank with a low hydraulic gradient. All models were shaken under a harmonic sinusoidal load with the frequency, the displacement amplitude, and the duration of 3Hz, 0.9 cm and 9.5 seconds, respectively. It was observed by increasing the relative density of the sand, due to reducing of void ratio, the values of excess pore water pressure ratio $(r_u)$ were decreased, and the required cycles for reaching the $r_{u,max}$ $(N_{peak})$ were increased. The obtained results showed that the liquefaction potential of saturated sand was significantly decreased by installing two and four micropiles into the soil model. On the other hand, one micropile had a negligible effect on reducing of the liquefaction potential. It can be explained by forming the grout-sand zone around the micropiles and also the localized compaction in the soil after grouting, the rate of pore water
pressure generation is limited. A dry stone surcharge with the stress of 1.2
kPa was placed on the surface of saturated sand, and due to the significant
increase in effective stress, the liquefaction potential was reduced significantly, leading to the increase of $N_{peak}$. Based on the obtained results, the upper and lower bounds were proposed to predict the values of $r_u$ in pure and reinforced sand regarding the $N/N_{peak}$.
