Looking at the 9-Pile example in CRSI (2002), the author specs a Pu=1233 kip and suggests using a 50 ton/pile cap. The table shows a capacity of Pu=1376 kip, but 50 tons x 9 piles = 450 tons= 900 kip which is (obviously) less than 1233 kip. I thought the pile capacity had to match or exceed the total load. Can someone clarify? How does this correlate to concrete piers?
Thanks!

Service load vs ultimate maybe? I'm not sure without seeing it but that would be my guess
