Stiff Pilecap + Pile reactions
Stiff Pilecap + Pile reactions
(OP)
Hello!
I am trying to do hand check reactions of what STRAP gave me. But its a 3D solid model and I am finding hard time to get reactions by hand because it involves huge pile cap stiffness too. Can anyone throw some light on how it has to be done?
Really appreciate your time.
Attached: Pile cap, loads and dimensions.
All dimensions are in millimeter.
Thanks,

Those are batter pile...A pile driven at an inclination to the vertical to provide resistance to horizontal forces... because its an abutment for one of the bridge..

I don't do a lot of pile design but the ones I have been involved with used battered piles on opposing sides of the cap.
Just curious. I enjoy learing from others why they chose to do things certain ways.

Its an abutment and i just considered only one loading to cross-check the strap results with my hand calculations. Actually I have loadings in all directions.

if you model it as "solid rigid" how were you designing the rebars?
