Trench Drain in Pilecap?
Trench Drain in Pilecap?
(OP)
Greetings all,
Just curious on some assumptions you fine folks are using for your pilecap models - are you considering trench drains as openings in your FEA models (if yes, even if you thicken the pile cap the depth of the drain beneath the bottom of the cap)?
Thanks in advance!

I would likely just lower the pile cap the depth required for the trench drain, and then treat the additional depth as a topping slab.
