Abstract: The behaviour of pile under lateral load is studied through laboratory experiments on model cemented group of piles driven into testing tank containing dry river sand. The load-displacement diagrams were drawn to study the effect of strength comparison between the group of cemented piles and different densities of sand on the lateral load capacity of pile. It was found that the lateral load capacity of piles increases with increase in number of piles and increase in sand density. It is also found that lateral load capacity is more in high density sand as compared to that of low density sand.
Keywords: Ultimate lateral load capacity, Cemented pile, Sand.
