Uplift capacity of group pile under vertical loading in black cotton soil

As in the geotechnical engineering the uplift capacity of pile is shown to be the directly depending on the shear failure between the soil and pile. Where the pile failure also depends on the several factors like the frictional resistance of pile and soil type ie., into which strata the pile is embedded into. Hence in this uplifting testing setup a whole apparatus is made taking IS codes into consideration having a massive cylindrical tank of size 60cm diameter and 80cm height and 12mm thickness of the tank with 12mm thickness of plate as one end of the tank which is welded. And the whole tank is rested onto the frame of C-sections, angles and pulleys. And tensional wire which holds the pile and pile group onto its position. Hence the testing is done in the geotechnical laboratory of Parul University. The model piles were having the embedment depth to diameter ratios of 11. The soil used in testing is Black cotton soil. Here also the soil is saturated to 60percent, 75percent, 90percent of OMC and where MDD is seen to be remained constant while the time of testing. It is also observed that the results presented in the paper has shown the better professional understanding between the soil-pile uplifting interaction and the response of it to different loading conditions.

Keywords- uplift load capacity, single pile, group of piles, frictional resistance.
