Question

Design a pile cap using Truss Theory to support a permanent axial load of 2200 kN and variable load of 1000 KN from a 500 x 500 mm reinforced concrete column. Choose 600 mm diameter reinforced concrete bored piles with service load capacity of 2000 KN. Soil condition shows that alpha value (or k) can be taken as 3.

Determine the suitable number of pile and size of pile cap. Design the pile cap using grade C30 concrete, taking the characteristic strength of steel reinforcement as 500 N/mm², concrete cover 75mm and steel bar diameter as 20mm.
