Tekla Tedds RC Pile Cap Design ACI 318

The RC Pile Cap Design is easy to use, flexible and extensive. You can design a pile cap with up to 9 piles of either steel, concrete or timber. The automated pile layout will save time on new projects while the customized layout option allows you to check as-built conditions or RFIs.
Here are some highlights of the new module:
• Allows up to 9 piles of either steel, concrete or timber
• Automatic or custom pile layout; design caps with misplaced piles
• Allows column placed anywhere on pile cap
• Expanded load cases that incorporates all conditions including seismic and overstrength factors
• Dynamic sketches showing inputs and failure planes
• Performs all CRSI special investigation checks
• Output includes a design summary table

ACI 318-14 which method is following ? truss analogy method ? Thank you

[@TeklaSoftware]

The RC Pile cap analysis & design calculation is based on guidance from CRSI Design Guide for Pile Caps, First Edition. This methodology is based on research and adheres to the design requirements of ACI 318-14 Chapter 13."
