So I'm basically asking what is supposed to be my "loaded perimeter"
The Problem: Using Micro Steel piles embedded in concrete cap.
I want to ensure that the (upward) reaction force that the piles would have won't puncture the concrete.
So that's a punching shear calculation. The only problem is that most of the design guides deal with solid columns on concrete.
Thanks much in advance.
