Timber Pile/Concrete Cap Connection
Timber Pile/Concrete Cap Connection
(OP)
Could anyone give advice on how to connect a timber pile and a reinforced concrete pile cap? Let's say a 12" pile with a 3'x3'x36"deep pile cap.
TIA,

For the specifics, and a source for the necessary "parts", get the TECO Catalog (see page 51) at this link

The "Design Manual for TECO Connectors", at the same link, repeats the catalog info.

This is one of those times when there is no point in "skimping" on reinforcement, regardless of what the calculations show. The differential cost of a significant rebar cage is trivial compared to the cost of associated pile driving, concrete forming & placement.
