Abstract

This paper presents the test of 3 reinforced concrete pile caps and the complete procedure of failure as well as the stressed mechanism, including the description of the occurrence of cracks. The influences of reinforcement types on load-bearing capacity are also probed. A spatial truss model is put forward and can explain satisfactorily some phenomena observed in the test and the failure mechanism is investigated.
