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 …

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 …

Este documento muestra un modelo optimizado para cabezales o zapatas rectangulares
apoyadas sobre un grupo de pilotes, con el fin de obtener el área de la superficie mínima en …

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 …

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 …

As fundações profundas, como estacas e tubulões, são responsáveis pela sustentação das
edificações e dependem de blocos de coroamento para distribuir as cargas ao solo. Logo, o …

A drilled shaft footing is a deep structural member subjected to nonlinear strain distribution,
known as D-regions, and therefore recommended to be designed using the strut-and-tie …

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 …
