STRUCTVILLE RESEARCH
Pile caps are concrete mats that rests on piles with adequate rigidity to transfer the column loads to the piles. Piles are
provided as alternatives to shallow foundations when a firm and stable soil to carry column load is too deep below the
surface, or when high lateral load is anticipated. More often than not, pile caps are usually so rigid that they make the entire
group of piles to behave like one unit. Welcome to the unique page of Structville

EN 1992-1-1:2004 permits us to use strut and tie models to analyse structures where non-linear strain distribution exists
(e.g. pile caps, deep beams and corbels).
STRUCTVILLE DESIGN MANUAL
In strut and tie models, trusses are used with the following components:
• Struts (concrete)
• Ties (reinforcement)
• Nodes (intersections of struts and ties)

Perimeter of pile cap = 2(900 + 2700) = 7200mm EUROCODE 3: A SAMPLE
Since the perimeter of the pile cap is less than 2u, normal shear extending across the full width of the pile cap is more What is wrong with this se

critical than punching shear.
The contribution of the column load to the shear force may be reduced by applying a factor β = av/2d, where 0.5d ≤ av ≤ 2d Design of Pile Foundation
Load Test (Eurocode 7)
But a little consideration will show that av(470 mm) < 0.5d(550 mm), therefore, take av as 0.5d (550)
v = βV/bd
ρ1 = As/bd = 2185/(2700 × 1100) = 0.0007356 > 0.02; Therefore take 0.02 FOLLOW US

piles were modelled as columns that could sway under the load. What do you think?
