In many projects, piles are designed and installed as the ultimate solution in foundation construction, load transition to the resistant subsurface layers, providing lateral resistance, and overcoming the poor performance of surface soils. Pile design should be done with respect to structural consideration, the load-carrying capacity of the surface and surrounding soil, settlement, and constructional, technical and environmental problems. Pile group is a particular type of deep foundations which is mostly and widely utilized in coastal and offshore structures, and sustains vertical and lateral loads. Noting the lateral load exerted on the structure, the effect of loading on the behavior of pile should be analyzed using an appropriate method. In this article, a 4×4 pile group with piles of 100 cm diameter and 10, 15-m in length with center-to-center spacing of 3 times the diameter are modeled using the Plaxis 3D Foundation, which uses the finite element method, and the Mohr-Coulomb model, and the behavior of the piles driven in sand and subjected to loading is studied. Taking the results, the mechanism of the pile group behavior under vertical, lateral, adjacent structures loads and bending moment is calculated, and displacement in the x-direction, y-direction, and along the length, bending moment, and bearing capacity along the length of the pile have been obtained for each pile
