I just went through the code but have some doubt.
So I have four struts here. With 2500kN axial forces I have roughly 850kN per strut. So I can work out the burst force to be around 450kN.
But I am wondering when comparing to the capacity, what width b should I adopt? Can I take half of the...
Also, since the depth is 1m while the max distance between support to column is 1.1, meaning the angle is less than 45 degree. Is strut tie method still applicable here without considering beam shear?
I did check the strut capacity without bursting reo though. And here comes my another question. What width should I choose to calculate the strut capacity? This one is a bit odd. For some reason screw pile is used instead of concrete pile. So, let’s say there are 300x300 cap plates on top of the...
Thank you. When you said strut bursting reinforcement how do you provide them in pile cap? What I did was just top and bottom reo with cog at end (and top and btm reo cog doesn’t lap together)
Hi,
I have a 2mx2m pile cap that is 1 meter deep on 4 piles with 1.8 meter span and 1.4m span in another direction. A 300x300mm column with 2500kN is applied on top with a eccentricity of 300mm in 1.8m span. Refer below.
I have designed the pile cap with strut-and-tie method, check the...
