Abstract
Role of Cap Thickness in Pile-Cap Foundation
Highlights
In pile foundations, the cap is regarded as rigid enough if all the piles are loaded
Studies have confirmed that pile cap thickness has a direct impact on the pile cap flexural rigidity, which will, in turn, affect the loads transferred to the piles
Researchers have developed formulae to determine the rigidity of the pile cap, such as [1] to [3]
Summary
The cap is regarded as rigid enough if all the piles are loaded. The load resistance developed in each pile associated with different pile diameters is presented in Fig. 16 for medium sand and dense sand. For the pile length of 5m, piles take about 30% of the load while the pile cap takes about 70% of the load
