ABSTRACT |
The behaviour of pile under lateral load is studied through laboratory experiments on model mild steel and aluminum pipe piles driven into dry river sand. The load-displacement diagrams were drawn to study the effect of pile diameter, pile length, weight of pile, pile material, density of sand, and roughness of pile on the lateral load capacity of pile. It was found that the lateral load capacity of piles increases with increase in length, pile diameter, weight of the pile, pile roughness and increase in sand density. It is also found that lateral load capacity is more for steel as compared to that of aluminium.
Keywords: pile; ultimate lateral load capacity; experiment; sand.
