Design of Reinforcement for Pile Caps
Deep foundations for pipe racks and open frame structures used in the petrochemical industry are often subjected to axial tension and bending. While reinforcement design guidance is available for pile caps subject to compressive or tensile loading,1, 2 many engineers still use flexural design theory to determine the required pile cap reinforcement for tensile loading, even when the clear span to overall depth pile cap ratio is less than 2. This article will help resolve this issue by providing some design examples. This article presents simplified strut-and-tie models for reinforcement of pile caps in the presence of tensile loads. For the reinforcement design provided in this paper, a pile cap subjected to tension is loaded inversely to a pile cap subjected to compression. This is demonstrated for pile caps supported by two and four piles, which are the most common configurations currently used.
