Book Description:
This design guide has been developed to provide the practicing engineer with a detailed overview of pile cap design, detailing, and analysis methodologies that represent the current state of practice in the industry. This contains comprehensive technical content and practical design examples utilizing approximately 30 different yet commonly used pile cap configurations. Tabulated designs are also provided for all pile above cap configurations and a wide range of vertical loading, lateral loading, and overturning effects. To better understand the behavior of deep pile caps, a finite element study was performed, and recommendations obtained from that study are presented here.
