Pile cap foundation is a type of deep foundation. These types of foundations are used when
soil, constructional or economical condition makes it necessary to transfer load of structure …

Technical literature provides experimental campaign results for four-pile caps with
significant value in structural engineering. However, failure modes and measurement of …

Pile cap is a typical example of a discontinuity region, where the classical beam theory does
not apply. Therefore, strut-and-tie (STM) model is considered appropriate for the analysis of …

This paper discusses the comparative study of design moments for pile cap with
conventional methods and finite element analysis. If a detailed finite element analysis is …

A safety assessment of various methods for designing RC (reinforced concrete) pile caps,
consisting of the traditional and strut-and-tie methods (STMs) available in the international …

The aim of this work is to present a new strut-and-tie model for design of rigid pile caps
based on the concept of magnified area under the column. In this magnified area …

Technical beam theory is not applicable for the analysis of non-standard reinforced concrete
structural elements (D-region), especially when members are exposed to significant shear …

This paper presents an experimental study on the anchorage behavior of drilled shaft
reinforcement subjected to tension in drilled shaft footings loaded under combined axial …

Deep foundations, such as piles and caissons, are responsible for supporting buildings and
rely on cap blocks to distribute loads to the soil. Therefore, correct block design and …
