Abstract: In this modern era, pile foundation has become a common solution for improving bearing capacity of soil. They transfer the load to a greater depth on to good bearing strata. They also transfer load to soil by friction. Normally pile foundation are used in offshore structures where the bearing capacity of the soil is less. Lateral movement is mainly the seismic movement and wind pressure that causes a structure to drift and sliding moment. Generally a foundation remains static only upto its ultimate lateral resistance. when it crosses, the foundation tends to move in horizontal direction and structure tends to fail. The main objective of this paper is to find out the behaviour of lateral resistance of conventional and sustainable concrete piles. Cohesionless soil is chosen for the test. The properties of sand were determined. The experimental setup was fabricated for the testing. The test were made for conventional pileand its compared to sustainable pile.
