ACI 318-19 Shear reinforcement design for Piles
ACI 318-19 Shear reinforcement design for Piles
(OP)
Dear all,
We are submitting our design for Secant pile shoring design. We usually follow BS standards but the recent shift in the ACI 318-19 designs is forcing us to change our approach. While we do get the longitudinal steel bars requirement from Prokon, unfortunately for the shear reinforcement we dont have any software/ confirmed calculations for piles. Since we are designing for shoring piles, the shear force has to be doubled for the spacing between the reinforced pile i.e SF (output from wallap) * 1.4 FOS * 2* SPACING. Can someone please suggest any calculations/ free software to calculate the same in ACI 318-19 SI units??
Thanks in advance!!
