Abstract
Pile is the only solution to transfer the vertical and lateral loads to deeper strata in high-rise buildings. Here, an attempt has been made on laboratory model single pile and pile groups to investigate lateral resistance of the piles. However, this paper puts up the results of lateral static load tests executed on model steel and wooden single pile and pile groups, in cohesion-less deposit about 1 m deep at varying sand density and length to diameter ratio keeping the spacing constant. Load is applied using turn-buckle and measured by a spring balance. Dial gauges are installed to investigate the average displacement. The effects of embedded length to diameter ratio, sand density, configuration of piles, material of piles and group efficiency are studied and explored. The test results are substantiated theoretically by GEO5 software for both single pile and pile groups considering the properties in aligned with that of experimental studies.

Acknowledgments
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my Advisor Prof. Ashok Kumar Khan, Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur for the continuous support towards my study and related research, for his patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. His guidance helped me in completion of research and writing of this dissertation. He definitely provided me with the tools that I needed to choose in the right direction. His faith in me from the very start of the project helped me to complete it effectively and pushed me to realize my potential.
I am extremely grateful to my family, especially to my father and mother. Without their support by my side nothing could have possible. At the same time, all other family members have also been a constant source of support in my life.
