As our country is developing at a rapid pace and there is lack of places for construction of buildings. It is a prime need to find alternatives of hard soil and to do construction on soft soil or clayey soil with least efforts. In today’s era, construction of soft soil is possible, but it is quite costly and time consuming. For that solution, we have used Diamond Pier Foundation, which can be used as foundation over soft soil. It is comparatively cheaper however giving the same desired resulted to that of conventional foundation. It is quick to fix and is detachable. We have studied the geometrics of this foundation and conducted various test over the model. The models were made with a different material than usual to check its properties and then results were found. In addition, Stimulation was used first to understand the stresses acting on the model and then later physical test were conducted by varying the batter angles and load carrying capacity of the model was checked for the permissible settlement as per local soil availability.
