Pile foundation is proposed for 50 stories building in Dubai having a building foot prin area of 20 m length and 20 m width and having a pile diameter of 800 mm and pile depth of 20 m near to the sea shore. The geotechnical investigation revealed a reclaimed land having the soil type mainly as well graded sand. The angle of shearing resistanc was obtained by performing the direct shear testing as 36 degree. Use IS 2911 approach to obtain the feasibility of the construction of pile group foundation for this 50 storey building
