MODEL STUDIES OF GROUP TWO BENT PILE WITH RESPECT TO DIFFERENT DENSITY I.E. LOOSE, MEDIUM AND DENSE OF COHESION LESS SOIL

In the present investigation, locally available Swarnrekha River sand will be used as soil medium and placement of soil has been made by rainfall method. The soil media will be chosen as loose, medium dense and dense by varying the height of fall of sand while filling the test tank. The behaviors of single wooden bent pile as well as bent piles in a group will be study in the laboratory. The group of piles may be extended to two, three, four and five pile groups respectively. Keeping in view the practical limitations viz. space, size of test tank, time allotted and other constraints, the pile bent will restricted to 0 0, 60 , 150 , and 300 and space-diameter ration will be chosen for 2, 4, 6 and 8. The tests shall conduct under loose, moderately dense and dense state of soil medium. The entire tests will subject to vertical compressive load
