Pile Cap Design Requirements

The document provides design requirements and dimensions for a pile cap including allowable soil bearing stress, surcharge details, materials properties, column and pile dimensions. It then summarizes the design of the pile cap involving: 1) Checking the pile cap dimension and determining it fails the minimum D/C ratio requirement. 2) Analyzing the pile cap thickness for punching shear and beam shear about the x and z axes, finding it sufficient. 3) Designing the pile cap reinforcements for bending about the x and z axes, determining the required bar spacing and number of bars meets requirements.
