Abstract: This paper discusses the result of study conducted on lateral resistance of sustainable concrete pile in cohesion less soil. Pile is a type of foundation used for massive structures to increase the bearing capacity of soil. Piles acts as a barrier to lateral loads since it has greater capacity to resist lateral loads (seismic forces) than the conventional foundation. Sustainability is achieved in pile by replacing cement by fly ash. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the load carrying capacity of both conventional and sustainable pile under similar conditions and compare the results thus obtained. Load is applied to pile in the horizontal direction (lateral loads) and the corresponding deflection of pile is observed in loose sand. Sustainable pile carries load similar to conventional pile. The experimental investigation of piles indicates that conventional pile can be replaced by sustainable pile.
Keywords: Sustainable pile, lateral resistance, foundation, bearing capacity.
