F.2.4.1 Pile Cap Reinforcement Design

a. Material and Geometric Constant
f'c Ultimate compressive strength of concrete
fy Ultimate tensile strength of deformed bars
Ø Flexural capacity reduction factor
Øv Shear capacity reduction factor
d' Embedment of pile to pile cap
c' Distance rebar to cut of pile
c Total concrete cover
b Strip width
hf Pile cap thickness
d Effective depth of pile cap
Ørebar designed rebar diameter

Maximum bending moment, Mmax From Staad-Pro

Mmax = 324.42 kN.m

b. Pile Cap Flexural Reinforcement (Top & Bottom Reinforcement )

Mmax = 324.42 kN.m
Mu = 1.4*Mmax
Max factored moment (Mu) = 454.18 kN.m
d = 0.95 m
Ru = Mu / (f x strip width x d2 )
= 0.930 MPa
m = fy / ( 0.85 * f'c )
= 11.76
ρ required = (1/m) x (1 - (1 - 2m Ru/fy)0.5)
= 0.242%
ρ balanced = bi * 0.85 f'c * 600
fy 600 + fy
= 0.044
ρ max = 0.75 * ρ balanced
= 3.28%
ρ min = 0.180% (ρ min = 1.4/fy if 1.33 x ρ required > 1.4/fy
(ρ min = 0.18% if 1.33 x ρ required < 1.4/f
ρ need = 0.322%
(ρ need = ρ required if ρ required > 1.4/fy)
(ρ need = ρ required x 1.33 but not need to exceed 1.4/fy if ρ required < 1.4/fy)
ρ used = 0.322% < 3.29%……...OK
(ρ used = largest of ρ min or ρ need)
As req = ρ*b*d
= 1,835.77 mm2
Diameter of reinf. bars = 16.00 mm
As = 201.06 mm2
Number of bars = As req / As
= 9.13
spacing = Width / no. of bars
= 0.066 m
= 65.71 mm =>
Define spacing = 50 mm
Asused = 4,021.24 mm2 per m

a = As x fy
0.85 x f'c x b
= 4,021.24 x 390
19,890.00
= 78.848 mm

f Mn = f As x fy x (d - a/2)
= 0.90 x 4,021.24 x 390.00
= 1,286,648,272.82 N.mm
