The design and analysis of pile foundation present a complex problem to the engineers because of several factors that affect the foundation behaviours. Such factors include mode of loading, soil properties, pile geometry, placement and method of construction. The mode and magnitude of loads transferred from the super structures will influence the selection of pile foundation to resist the imposed loads. Torsional forces are also acting on the pile, and IS 2911 for pile foundation has not considered torsional forces for pile designing but it should be considered.
Therefore, the objectives of the present work areas follows:
Mechanism of applying torque to a model single pile.
Experimentally analysing the basic pile-soil interactions in the modal pile subjected to torque in the context of study of torque/angle of twist.
Depth of Pile, Experimental Study, Modal Pile, Torque
