Why Caisson Cap?
Why Caisson Cap?
(OP)
What is the point of a caisson cap?
And if you are running grade beams from caisson to caisson, especially, why do you need a cap?
Thanks

RE: Why Caisson Cap?
So its simply a transfer mechanism.
We have sometimes specified additional vertical bars to be set in the top of the raw pier and extend out in a square or rectangular pattern so the grade beam can simply be poured directly over the pier without the additional formed concrete cap. It just takes a good contractor to set these bars properly so you don't have them sticking out the sides of the grade beam.
