Criteria - Design Criteria Pile Cap Tab

This tab is used to specify additional design criteria that apply only to pile cap footings.

SettingDescription
Maximum Construction Tolerance This value is used to account for construction tolerances when calculating the pile group resultant force distance from a critical section
Pile Embedment Depth This is the distance the top of the pile protrudes into the underside of the pile cap. This thickness is added to the reinforcement depth and reinforcement cover to establish the total pile cap thickness.
