Figure 1 is the column application plan at the base of an 8 story building, showing the loads at serviceability limit state. It is required to found this building on a pile foundation. Using the pile catalogue, carry out sufficient calculation to establish the pile layout and quantity of reinforcing steels required in the pile caps using concrete C25/30 and grade 460 steel.

This is provided based on the minimum area of steel. The pile themselves are designed as axially loaded “stocky “columns, in many instances would only require minimum area of steel. Thank You!
