Seismic Connection to Pile Cap
Seismic Connection to Pile Cap
(OP)
I am planning to utilize precast concrete piles for a foundation in Seismic Design Category C and IBC 1807.2.23.1.1 requires concrete piles to be connected to the pile cap by embedding the pile reinforcement or field placed dowels anchored in the pile cap for a distance equal to the development length.
Field placing dowels make sense if it was a concrete filled pipe pile but a little labor intensive to drill and epoxy hundreds of precast concrete piles.
Can anyone offer their experiences in making this connection with a precast prestressed pile without using longer piles and breaking up pile to expose tendons?

After cut-off, the dowels can then be grouted or epoxied into the preformed holes.

I didn't get this from a code, just experience.
