minimum reinforcement for piles
minimum reinforcement for piles
(OP)
Hallo together,
for our current project (very weak soil!) we use bore piles with a lenght of 56m ! The structural calculation gives us a bending moment up to a depth of 30m. If we consider our piles as columns we have to provide a minimum reinforcement for the whole lenght acc. ACI. Is that really required ? We have estimated without such a minimum reinforcement and we didn“t take this in consideration during our bid stage !
Can somebody give me an advice where to find detailed informations ?
Thank you very much in advance !

RE: minimum reinforcement for piles
we can use min. rein. for columns in our codes
%0.8 or %1 is enough i think
important question is what percenrage is max.?
i think we can use max. %2 percantage or we have to use bigger pile
