Abstract: This paper discusses the uplift capacity of concrete pile under lateral load in cohesion less soil. Pile transfers building loads to the earth farther down from the surface than a shallow foundation does. A pile is a vertical structural element of a deep foundation, driven deep into the ground at the building site. Pile foundations are capable of taking higher loads than spread footings. This paper discusses the influence of forces on pile. Loads are applied at 45° angle and the corresponding deflection is studied. The experimental investigations shows the failure of pile and its failure pattern under the loading angle for the two condition of cohesion less soil viz loose soil and dense soil.
Keywords: Pile, lateral resistance, foundation, bearing capacity.
