Pile foundation is used in many important structures and offshore structures. As we know, we normally design piles for axial forces but in some scenario we come across inclined or eccentric loads, for analysis which the current practice is to convert them in horizontal and vertical components or vertical load and moment. But from experiments we can see that this practice not exactly perfect solution. So in this investigation an effort is made to discover the effect of size of model pile group subjected to eccentric and inclined loading.
