Pile to Pile Cap Connection
Pile to Pile Cap Connection
(OP)
I have a 45cm Diameter steel pipe pile that I'm attaching to a reinforced concrete pile cap (thickness=70cm), by embedding rebars into a concrete plug in the pipe pile, and hooking them into the pile cap. The bars in the pile are 12#8.
the specific question is, what specification define this type of connection, between the pile and the pile cap?
Thanks...

RE: Pile to Pile Cap Connection
How do you install the concrete plug inside the circular steel pile? You need the plug to bond permanently to the circular shell and the two would not debond under all temperature changes for the life of the structure, if a full moment connection is required.
Welding the bars may help.
RE: Pile to Pile Cap Connection
If the top of the pipe ever becomes corroded, the cap won't have to be altered unless the concrete and rebar have been compromised. The corroded section can be removed and replaced without a lot of hoorah. You can't do that if the rebar is welded to the pipe -
