Which code requires 1% steel in concrete piers referenced in LPile?
(OP)
Does ACI 318 require the 1% steel reinforcement (vertical rebar) that is referenced in LPile software for drilled concrete piers?
Also, if one tries to design the rebar for less than 0.95% the following warning appears: "This is permissible only if lateral geotechnical capacity is less than the shaft's structural capacity." This seems counter-intuitive. Can anyone shed light on this?
