Abstract
Over the past few decades, several researchers have suggested adequate experimental and numerical approaches to calculate the granular anchor piles’ (GAPs) uplift capacity in expansive soils. There haven’t been many studies done on the uplift potential of GAPs in loose sands. The outcomes of numerical analysis using PLAXIS 3D software to determine the maximum lift capability of single granular piles and group piles are presented in this paper. In loose sands, the foundation system is thought to be made up of a distinct number of consistently spaced GAPs. The analysis compares the effectiveness of varying configurations of GAP systems and investigates the effect of several factors such as the number of piles, n, and aspect ratio (L/D), as well as the properties of the materials for granular piles.
