Clayey soil has less friction between pile surface and clay layer. To increase the pile capacity a cushion of sand layer is
placed around the periphery of the pile surface which will increase friction resistance of the pile and ultimately will increase pile
capacity. A granular pile is the bored hole which is filled with granular material having higher frictional resistance in which
concrete pile is cast in places. In this paper we are going to review pile encased with sand cushion in clayey soil bed.
