>> Any sample manual calculation for pilecap design?

Attached PDF file contains the full pilecap design examples, from 2-pile pilecap to 9-pile pilecap, in Canadian CSA A23.3-04 code. The ACI 318 code version should be fairly similar.

Have fun !

why a lot of example for truss analogy method shown until 4 nos. pile group only? how about 5 nos. pile group and above? not suitable to use the truss analogy method?
 
Truss analogy (strut and tie) methods work for any arrangement of piles. The reason why you haven't found any examples is probably because it gets a bit cumbersome as more loads are introduced to the model. You can't use a cookbook for everything.
 
If you don't understand how to do this, or how to use the example provided for your situation, perhaps you consult another engineer in your office.
