Determination of Pile Cap Balanced Loads and Reactions
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. PILE TOP SHEAR, RV, & MOMENT, RM, RELATIONSHIP
MUST BE FROM SOIL REPORT (RV vs RM) DIAGRAM.
THEY ARE NON-LINEAR SET AND EQUAL AT ALL TOP
OF PILES FOR RIGID PILE CAP. USING LINEAR
SPRINGS TO MODEL THEM IS INADEQUATE.
2. PILE CAPS SHALL BE INTERCONNECTED BY TIES
WITH Min(SDS/10, 0.25) TIMES AXIAL VERT
COLUMN LOADING. (IBC 09 1810.3.13). TO CONSIDER
CONCRETE TENSION CREAKED, THE TIE BEAM
SHOULD NOT BE LATERAL REACTION MEMBER.
