Abstract:
Pile is the form of deep foundation some time may be applying as a condition of inclined loading. There are limited experimental studies in existence on the performance of vertical piles exposed to inclined loads. In this paper, a static inclined load with four angles applied load varying (i.e., 0,15, 30, and 45 degrees) from the horizontal axis of the pile are used to the comparison of behavior for pile group as a three configurations 2x2, 2x3, and 3x2 in sandy soil. The experimental works include a soil tank and several of tools used to achieve the objective of this study. It can be seen that the pile group is influenced by the angle of inclination of applying load, furthermore the results displays that the increase in spacing between pile cause decrease lateral movement under the similar angle of inclination of load applied. The performing of each models better-quality using S/D=7, this is attributable to reduce the interface of pile-soil-pile for the group. Groups 2x3 showing resistance and have bearing capacity to the lateral displacement from other groups about 40% for group 2x2 and about 50% for group 3x2.
