Improvement of bearing capacity of sand by skirt piles is a one of the recognised method. An experime ntallaboratory work has been workout to observe the effect of pile length and skirt size on the bearing capacity improvement of model footing. To perform the laboratory work, steel model footing and steel piles were used as a skirt for co nfinement of sand. Influence of various pile configurations with different skirt sizes was observed by c omparing the loadsettlement curve of confined footing to unconfined footing. Based on the comparing analysis of confined model footing toun confined model footing for various configurations of skirt sizes & pile length, the bea ring capacity of model footingcan be maximum for smaller skirt size and longer pile length. The results show that bearing capacity of sand i ncreasedtwo times by use of skirt piles.
