Piles are especially for lowland areas frequently penetrate through loose soil deposits. In loose soils, this piles likely to exhibit excessive displacements at ground level under lateral loads. Several methods are available to predicting the ultimate lateral resistance of rigid pile in cohesive and cohesionless soils. In this paper, a new approach based on kinematics and hyperbolic model (nonlinear approach) has been developed to study the rigid free head pile in cohesionless soils. Based on this approach ultimate lateral resistance, rotating point for corresponding displacements at ground level of rigid pile for different subgrade reaction of soil(kso), Lateral soil pressure(qmax), Diameter of pile(D) and Length of pile(L) has been studied.
