About this document
Pile Cap Design and Reinforcement Guidelines by Balaji Prasath is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides guidelines for determining the depth and reinforcement of pile caps. It states that the minimum pile cap thickness is 300mm and depth should generally be 500mm or more to provide adequate rigidity. A formula is provided to calculate the recommended pile cap depth based on the pile diameter. The pile cap needs reinforcement in three dimensions to resist bursting forces, with a minimum of 0.15% of the bed area for main reinforcement and 0.12% for secondary reinforcement.
