how to design the piles with base shear & with loose soil ??
(OP)
HI,
I am designing the Pile ( 40' long) foundation for the SILO & the soil is very loose soil but my base shear is kinna high .M not sure how to resist the base shear Using piles as the top 18' of soil is really loose soil & cant take any shear.??

Battered piles may be a possibility. Talk to the geotech.

for additional lateral capacity.
If this technique is not feasible, consider a drilled shaft
or mat foundation, as opposed to a forest of smaller piles.
What is the soil type?

Basically you need passive resistance in the pile to react the base shear. Then you need passive resistance to react the couple cause by the base shear and base shear reaction.
