Checks for Limiting Parameters (Pile Cap: BS 8110)

Limiting reinforcement parameters are specified in Design Options >  Foundations >  Isolated Foundations >
Reinforcement Layout 
Check for distance of pile cap overhang
Check pile edge distance “e” for pile “i” in a pile group for both directions:
The check passes if:
If min ei  > emin,user 

Check for minimum pile spacing

Check centre to centre spacing “s” between piles “i” and “j” in a pile group:
The check passes if:
If sij  > min(smin , smin,user)
where
smin,user = user input
smin = perimeter of the pile for non circular friction piles
smin = 3*diameter for circular friction piles
smin = 2*least width of the pile for end bearing piles

Check for maximum pile spacing

Check centre to centre maximum spacing “s” between piles “i” and “j” in a pile group:
The check passes if:
If sij < smax,user
smax,user = user input

Other checks
The remaining checks are identical to those for pad bases.
