Abstract: In many cases, the lateral pressure acting on piles due to horizontal soil movements is calculated with empirically or analytically based approaches respectively. In the scope of this project, the soil movements were analysed from 1G model test by use of LVDT sensors, The 1G model test was investigated the lateral response of pile subjected to lateral load, vertical load, combined vertical and lateral load and also found out the displacement rate of pile. The tests were carried out single pile, four pile and nine pile groups. In all the three cases tests where carried on a free standing pile and a pile group where in the cap was touching the ground and then Comparative Analysis was made after the 1G model test. Compare the loads and deflection of 3 types of group pile and conclude the variation between each pile groups. Deformation and bending moments developed in the pile sections were measured by LVDT sensors attached on the pile cap. The results obtained from the lateral, vertical and combined loading experiments are analysed theoretically with the methods found in the literature to contribute to a better understanding of this complicated geotechnical problem. Then FEA and MODEL test results are compared and analysed. Conclusions are drawn regarding theoretical analysis of pile subjected to lateral load.
