HI,
I am designing the Pile ( 40' long) foundation for the SILO & the soil is very loose soil but my base shear is kinna high .M not sure how to resist the base shear Using piles as the top 18' of soil is really loose soil & cant take any shear.??
HI,
I am working on a Pile cap design for industrial bldg. I have 2 columns sitting at 8' apart on same pile cap.the pile cap is 5 pile group (12'X 12') & 7 pilegroup (14'X14').I am just wondering abt the top reinforcement design as now its gonna have some negative momenton the top.
thanks
