Good Morning,
I am doing a pilecap design and I trying to understand the concept as I am developing a generic spreadsheet to design a pilecap.
If we are using the old BS8110, clause 3.11.4.1 where it allows the pilcap to be designed using bending theory or truss theory.
Same goes to Eurocode 2...
Which design code you are using?
If you are using Eurocode (EC2: 9.3.1.2(2) or BS8110(3.12.10.3.2), there is a provision for top steel reinforcement even it is pinned support.
However, we still need to see the bending moment diagram, in your case, contour of bending diagram before anything is...
I gone through the last excel sheet but I do not go through the reference book by prab bhat yet because I don't have that book
For me, the calculation work out including the moment capacity by reinforcement and theoretically is correct based on your assumption of NA where it will be exactly as...
Hi Rapt,
Yes I agree and I would love to use that rather than old BS8110 value, but use longer length will get queried by our client.
As of the BS8110 3.12.9, we practice this by extending a little bit based on 3.12.9.1 recommendation, however, when come to EC, the additional reinfocement...
Hi Greyhill,
Yes I am looking at PD6687 as well, the issue is that, while the PD did describe and explain/provide justification, it is seen to be an evidence to proof the existing building that design based on BS8110 is not adequate/safe, for instance, a longer lapping required, additional edge...
Hi everyone,
I was assigned as designer engineer for a new project recently and this is my first time to lead on a project.
While the analysis of building frame is not a trouble for me, I have several questions on the detailing part.
As for the background, in my region most of the structural...
