Combined Rectangular Pilecap Design Excel Sheet
PILE CAP:- A reinforced concrete slab or block which interconnects a group of piles and acts as a medium to transmit the load from wall or column to the Piles is called a Pile Cap. The Pile cap should normally be rigid so as to distribute the forces equally on the piles of a group. In general it is designed like a footing on soil but with the difference that instead of uniform reaction from the soil, the reactions in this case are concentrated either point loads or distributed.
ASSUMPTIONS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF PILE CAPS:-
(i) Pile cap is perfectly rigid.
(ii) Pile heads are hinged to the pile cap and hence no bending moment is transmitted to piles from pile caps.
(iii) Since the piles are short and elastic columns, the deformations and stress distribution are planer
