Abstract
Offshore structures supported by pile foundations are sometimes subjected to uplifting forces due to wave, wind, and ice actions. This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests for ultimate uplift capacity of single and group metal piles embedded in saturated medium and dense sand. The results have been compared with existing theories.
