Screw piles differ from traditional piles in that they are most commonly made of high strength steel consisting of helices which are fixed to the shaft at specific spacing. They are installed in ground by screwing and have a pointy toe to allow for better installation into the ground. Screwed piles have the advantage that their vertical bearing capacity increases because of the resistance of the wing portion. In this study, the inclined uplift load capacity of screw anchor piles is examined through an experimental investigation carried on model piles embedded in sand using a model tank. The angle of inclination of load on screw pile was varied to study the behaviour of screw anchor piles under inclined loads. The experimental program was conducted on piles loaded at 15, 30, and 45° with respect to the vertical and installed into medium dense sands. The ultimate uplift load capacity increases with increase in inclination angle and the settlement decreases with increase in the inclination angle.
