amec, I have the 318-08 code and I can't find any special provision for corner columns with reguard to one-way shear. But I'll assume that your reading between the lines of the ACI code due to your previous experiences with the CSA code.
Getting back to one of my intail questions. In your...
Thanks amec, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. From the examples it looks like you use a critical section that is located at distance of "d/2" when checking the individual pile one-way shears, but use a distance of "d" when checking the column one-way shear. Why are you using...
Let me clarify. I probably should have called it a pile footing rather than a pile cap. It is a 16' x 21' footing with piles in a rectangular pattern embedded into it. The reason why I said the footing has biaxial moment was so that you would know that there was a linear variation in the pile...
What force should you use to check the one way shear in a pile cap? The sum of the actual pile reactions outside the critical section, (max pile reaction)*(# piles outside the critcal section), or something else? FYI there is biaxial moment on the pile cap.
Thanks
