elevated concrete slab on piles
(OP)
I've got this project to work on and I'm having hard time coming up with concept of presterssed pilings and cast in place concrete floor slab connection.
May be you have came across with something similar. In a beginning I was thinking to do simply like we would do for pile foundation with reinforced concrete slab, with pile caps and edge beams. Only the difference is that reinforced slab is elevated 8 feet above ground. Would you do 30" sqr. pile caps and edge beams for this type of elevated foundation/floor? The problem is that I have not seen it before, may be it should be done in a different way?
I would greatly appreciate your opinion

If necessary, use shear walls for lateral forces - or design the grade-beam / column / floor structure as a moment frame.

I'd feel better about a grid of grade beams at the base as they would cover over any variation in position and plumbness.
