Re: pile cap design -
We are installing 880mm diameter piles and one is out of tolerance (location) such that a second pile is needed. The second pile was installed adjacent to the existing pile. These two piles will be chipped down 4 ft to allow for a 5'x6'x4ft deep transition cap to be poured to grade - how is such a cap designed? Normally there is space between the piles and some flexure will occur. Pile cage steel will extend into the transition cap.
Thanks!
