Abstract: Understanding the pile behavior and predicting the capacity of piles under uplift loading are important topics in foundation design. Experimental model tests have been conducted on single piles and pile groups embedded in cohesion less soil and subjected to pure uplift loading. The piles are made up of cement. The influences of pile embedment depth, relative density of soil, and arrangement of piles in a group on the uplift capacity of piles are investigated. The study revealed that the behavior of single piles under uplift loading depends mainly on both the pile embedment depth-to-diameter ratio and the soil property . When the net uplift load per pile in a group is equal to a single pile load, the upward displacement increased in the pile group due to interaction effects between piles. The obtained group efficiency under uplift loading is illustrated and found to be in a good agreement with previous studies.
