Pile foundation is one of the effective forms of deep foundation. This is to be used where the load has to be transferred to deeper layers of soil and it can with stand uplift forces in foundations in expansive soil and also in case of floating foundations. The finite element method is one of the most versatile and comprehensive numerical technique which can be used for analysis of structures or solids of complex shapes and complicated boundary conditions. There are different variables which influence the load carrying capacity of pile foundation. But only some of those have significant influence on load carrying capacity. Here those variables are considered and the variation of load carrying capacity with the change in value of those variables is observed. Those variables are pile length and pile diameter, analysis of pile foundation was carried out to determine the ultimate load carrying capacity of pile for different lengths and diameters in cohesive soil, the corresponding settlement was also determined.
