Auger Cast Pile Reinforcement Requirements
Auger Cast Pile Reinforcement Requirements
(OP)
I am currently working on a project utilizing ACPs due to long term settlement criteria. we understand that a single bar is typically utilized if the pile is to resist uplift forces and a reinforcing cage extended a development length beyond the point of fixity is utilized when the ACP is resisting lateral forces. is there any requirement for reinforcment for piles carrying only vertical load? (seismic design cat b), is the concrete considered confined and therfore capacity based only on codes criteia of 25%*f'c and reinforcement not required? I intend on only reinforcing the number of piles required to give us an aggragate resistance which exceeds the calculated lateral force if no minimum reinforcement criteria exists.

if you have to design to resist to seismic loads then you have horizontal loads and you need a full reinforcement.
