Abstract
Conventional analysis of building frames will be made by assuming the bases to be rigid or hinged, whereas buildings rest on soil which allows the bases to displace and rotate. This paper presents the results of static vertical load tests carried out on model building frame supported on pile groups embedded in sand. The experimental results of displacements due to the applied loads on the experimental model have been modeled mathematically, and relevant equations have been developed. The developed equations show very good correlation coefficient which implies that the equations developed can be used to get output obtained from the experiment with fairly well with that of experiments. The present research is an attempt to model the experimental results of various displacements, viz. lateral, vertical, and rotational displacements in case of a building frame resting on group of piles embedded in sand. The developed equations can be utilized as a means to replace the experiment conducted in the laboratory with that of mathematical equations within the limitation of experimental inputs.
