Maximum & Minimum Pile Forces

P p max = 1 , 111 12 + ( 50 12 ) 54 19 , 440 + ( 25 12 ) 36 10 , 368 = 95.3 kips (ultimate)
P p max = 1 , 111 12 ( 50 12 ) 54 19 , 440 ( 25 12 ) 36 10 , 368 = 89.9 kips (ultimate)

Pp max= 95.3 kips < 1.6P = 160 kips - pile is adequate

Design of Pile Cap for Flexure

Critical section for flexure is at face of column,

For moment in minor direction (about x-x axis),

Self Weight = 138 ( 43 ) ( 57 ) 12 3 ( 150 1 , 000 ) = 29.4 kips

Check minimum required steel for slab per ACI 318-14 (Sec. 24.4.3.2),

As,min1 = (0.0018×60,000/60,000)bh = 0.0018×(12 × 11.5)×57 = 14.16 in2 Controls

As,min2 = 0.0014×bh = 0.0014×(12 × 11.5)×57 = 11.01 in2

Check minimum required steel for beam per ACI 318-14 (Sec.9.6.1.3),

4/3 As= 10.80 in2

200/fybd = 12×11.5×46.3×200 / 60,000 = 21.3 in2

Check minimum required steel for slab,

As,min = 0.0018bh = 0.0018 (12 · 8.5)57 = 10.47 in2

Check minimum required steel for beam,

4/3 As= 15.56 in2 Controls

Controls

200/fybd = 12 · 8.5 · 47.4 · 200 / 60,000 = 16.12 in2
