Abstract
Pile is the only solution to transfer the vertical and lateral loads to deeper strata in high-rise buildings. Here, an attempt has been made on laboratory model single pile and pile groups to investigate lateral resistance of the piles. However, this paper puts up the results of lateral static load tests executed on model steel and wooden single pile and pile groups, in cohesion-less deposit about 1 m deep at varying sand density and length to diameter ratio keeping the spacing constant. Load is applied using turn-buckle and measured by a spring balance. Dial gauges are installed to investigate the average displacement. The effects of embedded length to diameter ratio, sand density, configuration of piles, material of piles and group efficiency are studied and explored. The test results are substantiated theoretically by GEO5 software for both single pile and pile groups considering the properties in aligned with that of experimental studies.
