Strap Beam for Pile Caps

Strap Beam for Pile Caps

Strap Beam for Pile Caps

(OP)
Hi,

How does a strap beam for a pile cap differ from a traditional strap beam for spread footings? Since I have a short, deep cantilever, do I need to design using the 'strut and tie' method? What would I use for the width of my struts/nodes if this is the case? Also, would I have to adhere to the phi*vn max <= phi*10*b*d*sqrt(f'c)? ... This will drastically increase the size of my strap.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

-Matt, EIT
