Pile Embedment into Pile Cap
Pile Embedment into Pile Cap
(OP)
If you have a pile cap with mainly vertical loads,no fixity requirements, and no embedment required such as for steel H-piles why is it still routine to embed the piles 4"-6" or so into the cap? (Say for example an intrusion mortar pile).

Ahh yes, I like a good augercast pile. One of helluva a pile. We usually do 4" minimum embedment for those with at least a single bar extending into the cap. Use a full cage if the pile has lateral load on it. Watch for low grout takes.
