Hooks in Pile Caps
Hooks in Pile Caps
(OP)
CRSI design handbook states, "the provision to include a 180 (degrees) end hooks or heads on all reinforcing bars in pile caps with single lines of piles around the column is a prudent precaution against a premature "tied-arch" shear failure mode". What does "single lines of piles" mean?

While not always mandatory, final design for most pile caps should be developed using strut and tie (primarily to satisfy shear requirements of ACI 318-11 15.5, which references Appendix A.) We are working on revisions to the CRSI Design Handbook to incorporate this change.
