In this study, we grasped the resistance state of the back ground which had a notable influence on computing the lateral resistance of the laterally loaded single pile in the homogeneous ground by the model test. In order to grasp a resistance behavior, we have to know the deformation area of the back ground and the side failure angle other than the rotation point of pile and vertical failure angle of back ground which were proposed by Bae & Kim in 2008. We found out in this test the characteristics of the behavior of the back ground in accordance with the shape and size of the pile and ground density. We examined the interrelationship of the relative density of sand, the size and the sectional shape of the pile as well.
