  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the results of static load tests carried out on a model plane frame with plinth beam founded on pile groups embedded in the cohesion less soil (sand). The response of the superstructure considered include the displacements, rotations, shear forces and moments in the frame. Comparison of the interactive behaviour from the experimental results has been made with the behavior from conventional method. Results revealed that the shear force and bending moment in the frame reduced considerably because of soil interaction. It is also found that, as the rigidity of the plinth beam reduces the shear force and bending moment values from the experimental results have shown considerable reduction. The response of the system from the conventional method of analysis is always on higher side irrespective of level of loading which emphasizes the need for consideration of building frame-pile foundation-soil interaction and reduction of rigidity of plinth beam
