Wind Load Transfer to Pile Cap with Bracing Beam

[Fernando799]

I have an industrial building with wind loads and frame foundations made of pile caps with two piles each. The X-bracing applies a shear force perpendicular to the pile axis. Can I use a connecting beam (as shown in the image) to resist the moment caused by this shear?
Would the piles share the shear through the bracing beam, and the moment be resisted by the first connecting beam as bending?

In your terminology, is the "bracing beam" and the "connecting beam" the same beam?

"Sorry, English is not my first language. What we call 'bracing beams' are small-dimension beams, for example 40x40 cm, that function like struts. And 'connection beams' are foundation beams used to transfer forces, such as moments — for example, beams with dimensions of 40x100 cm."

You have a green beam and a yellow one. Which is brace and which is connection?

Detailing probably matters in determining how this will behave. Are the piles pin connected to the cap or fixed? If fixed there will be some load sharing between the grade beam and the piles all trying to resist the moment from the lateral load.
