This report is similar to the spread footing design report with minor changes made to accommodate the specifics of a pile cap design. The section on pile cap 2-way shear is only included in the report if it was performed. In most pile caps the thickness relative to the pile spacing is too large to require the pile 2-way shear check. Please see the Technical Notes below for additional information.

The notation used to locate the piles is H and V. This is the Horizontal and Vertical location of the piles from the center of the supported column. The Horizontal direction is taken as the direction parallel to the pile cap major direction (direction of pile cap arrow) and the Vertical direction is taken as the direction parallel to the pile cap minor direction.
