Pile cap for double column (2 water tanks)
Pile cap for double column (2 water tanks)
(OP)
I am working on a foundation design to support two water tanks on a concrete pad that will be supported by screw piling. Where can I find a reference for this type of installation. The CRSI (Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute design handbook details design for individual columns with multiple pile combinations but does not address this type of application.
Thanks.
Thanks.

That is a good thought, but I have 8 screwpiles - 4 under each tank.
Should I analyze each tank independently (1 load and 4 piles) and then design the concrete pad (pilecap) to support the 2 tanks on one pilecap?

Do you have any idea on how to obtain bending moment diagram and shear on the analysis of pile group with given displacement and rotation on pile cap? This is some sort of back analysis. Any programs?
Thanks.
