Pile details
Number of piles; N=3
Pile diameter; dpile = 20.0 in
Pile capacity (service); Pcap = 120.0 kips
Pile spacing provided; s = 60.0 in
Minimum pile spacing required; smin = max (36 in, (dpile + 24 in)) = 44.0 in
PASS - Provided spacing is not less than minimum required
Edge distance of pile from pile cap edge; e = 11.0 in
Minimum edge distance required; emin = 11 in
PASS - Provided edge distance is not less than minimum required
Pile cap details
Concrete cover; cc = 3.0 in
Length of pile cap along X axis; Lx = s + dpile + 2 e = 8.5 ft
Length of pile cap along Y axis; Ly = sin(60) s + dpile+ 2 e = 7.8 ft
Overall pile cap thickness; tcap = 40.0 in
w1 = dpile + 2 e = 3.50 ft
w2 = dpile + 2 e = 3.50 ft
Diagonal length of sides; Lside_diag = ((Ly - w1)2 + ((Lx - w2) / 2)2) = 5.000 ft
Pile embedment distance; eemb = 6.0 in
Minimum pile embedment distance; ec_min = 6 in
PASS - Provided embedment distance is not less than minimum required
Column details
Column width along X axis; bcol = 24.0 in
Column width along Y axis; hcol = 18.0 in

Material properties
Yield strength of tension reinforcement; fy = 60 ksi
Concrete strength; f’c = 4 ksi
Concrete density; c = 150 lb/ft3
Reinforcement details (ACI 318, cl. 7.12, cl. 10.5)
Diameter number of steel bar along X axis; Dx_bar_num = 6
Diameter of steel bar along X axis; Dx_bar = 0.75 in
Depth of cap above bottom reinforcement (X axis); dx = tcap – eemb -cc - Dx_bar / 2 = 30.6 in
Total number of steel bars along X axis; Nx_bar = 22
Spacing of steel bars along X axis; sx_bar = (Ly – 2 cc - Dx_bar) / (Nx_bar - 1) = 4.2 in
Area of steel provided along X axis; Ast_x = Nx_bar 0.25 Dx_bar2 = 9.7 in2
Gross cross sectional area of cap along Y axis; Ag_y = Ly tcap = 3758.5 in2
C/S area of cap above bottom reinf. along Y axis; Ab_y = Ly d = 2842.3 in2
Minimum area of steel required along X axis; Ast_min_x = max (0.0018Ag_y, 200Ab_y1psi /fy, 3(f’c1psi)Ab_y/fy)
Ast_min_x = 9.5 in2
PASS - Provided area of steel along X axis is greater than minimum required
Loading details
Strength reduction factor (flexure); f = 0.90
Strength reduction factor (shear); v = 0.75
Strength reduction factor (tied-arch); t = 0.75
Column axial dead load; Pdl = 150.0 kips
Area of pile cap; Acap = Lx Ly - sin(60) Lside_diag2/2 = 55.731 ft2
Weight of pile cap; Pwt = (Acap tcap - 3 dpile eemb / 4) c = 27.4 kips
Surcharge pressure on pile cap; sur = 3.000 ksf
Surcharge load; Psur = sur (Acap - hcol bcol) = 158.2 kips
Column axial live load; Pll = 20.0 kips
Total column load (unfactored); Pn = Pdl + Pll = 170.0 kips
The service load per pile is; Pn_pile = (Pn + Pwt + Psur) / 3 = 118.5 kips
PASS - Pile capacity is sufficient
Total column load (factored); Pu = 1.2 Pdl + 1.6 Pll = 212.0 kips
The ultimate load per pile is; Pu_pile = (Pu + 1.2 (Pwt + Psur)) / 3 = 144.9 kips
