Piled Raft
Piled Raft
(OP)
Folks,
When you have a mat foundation supported on piles or for that matter a structural slab on piles with no drop cap or slab thickening around the pile, the piles typically extend 3-4" into the slab.
How do you account for the punching shear depth? Do you account for some reduction in depth due to this discontinuity? You still have the full depth at d/2 from the face but there is a discontinuity as the slab goes over the column.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
