Eccentricity from centroid of pile cap;

ex = 75 mm

The characteristic load in pile, 1 is;

Fchar_pile_1 = Fchar (s/2 - ex)/s = 82.0 kN

The characteristic load in pile, 2 is;

Fchar_pile_2 = Fchar (s/2 + ex)/s = 164.0 kN

Overall length of pile cap;

L = s + + 2 e = 1000 mm

Overall width of pile cap;

Nominal cover;

cnom = 50 mm

Tension bar diameter;

Dt = 16 mm

Link bar diameter;

Ldia = 12 mm

Depth to tension steel;

d = h cnom - Ldia - Dt/2 = 730 mm

Pile Cap Forces

Maximum compression within pile cap;

Fc = max(Fc1, Fc2) = 245.7 kN

Maximum tension within pile cap;

Ft = max(Ft1, Ft2) = 49.5 kN

Tension In One Truss Member

Characteristic strength of reinforcement;

fy = 460 N/mm2

Partial safety factor for strength of steel;

ms = 1.15

Shear
Applied shear stress
Shear force pile 1;

V1 = Fuls_pile_1 = 120.3 kN

Shear force pile 2;

V2 = Fuls_pile_2 = 240.7 kN

Width of pile cap shear plane;

bv = min( b, 3 ) = 450 mm

Shear stress pile 1;

v1 = V1/(bv d) = 0.37 N/mm2

Shear stress pile 2;

v2 = V2/(bv d) = 0.73 N/mm2

Allowable shear stress;

vallowable = min ((0.8 N1/2/mm) (fcu ), 5 N/mm2 ) = 4.00 N/mm2

Shear stress - OK

Design concrete shear strength

Determine concrete shear strengths on the sections at distance / 5 inside face of each pile:
Cl. 3.11.4.3 & fig. 3.23

Shear stress - BS8110-1:1997 Table 3.8;

vc_25 = 0.79 r1/3 max(0.67, (400 mm/d)1/4) 1.0 N/mm2 / 1.25 = 0.34 N/mm2
Enhanced shear stress - Cl. 3.4.5.8 & fig. 3.5;

vc = vc_25 ( min(fcu, 40 N/mm2 )/25 N/mm2 )1/3 = 0.34 N/mm2

av_1 = min(2 d, max(s/2 + ex - /2 + /5- x/2, 0.1 mm)) = 105 mm
av_2 = min(2 d, max(s/2 - ex - /2 + /5- x/2, 0.1 mm)) = 0 mm

Concrete shear strength - Case 1;

vc_enh_1 = min( vallowable , 2 d vc / av_1 ) = 4.00 N/mm2

Concrete shear strength - Case 2;

vc_enh_2 = min( vallowable , 2 d vc / av_2 ) = 4.00 N/mm2

Concrete shear strength - OK, no links reqd. for case 1
Concrete shear strength - OK, no links reqd. for case 2

Note: If no links are provided, the bond strengths for PLAIN bars must be used in calculations for anchorage and lap
lengths.

Clear Distance Between Bars In Tension (Cl 3.12.11.2.4)

Bar spacing;
spacingbars = max( 0mm, (b- 2 (cadopt + Ldia) - Dt)/(Lnt - 1) - Dt) = 121 mm
Maximum allowable spacing;

spacingmax = min((47000 N/mm)/fs, 300 mm) = 300 mm

Minimum allowable spacing;

Bar spacing OK

Clear Distance Between Face Of Beam And Tension Bars (Cl 3.12.11.2.5)
Distance to face of beam;

Distedge = cadopt + Ldia + Dt/2 = 70 mm

Design service stress in reinforcement;

fs = 2 fy As_req /(3 As_prov b) = 47.1 N/mm2

Max allowable clear spacing;

Spacingmax = min((47000 N/mm)/fs, 300 mm) = 300 mm

Max distance to face of beam;

Distmax = Spacingmax /2 = 150 mm
