The Guide provides an overview of load types considered and how these loads are appropriately combined to design pile caps, followed by an overview of assumptions used to determine the load distribution to piles when caps are subjected to different load cases. Thirty pile cap configurations with dimensioning requirements are considered in the Guide, and the overall recommended layout of steel reinforcement in the pile cap is also provided

Pile under pile cap should be layout symmetrically in both directions.  The column or wall on pile cap should be centered at the geometric center of the pile cap in order to transferred load evenly to each pile.  Example of pile layout pattern are shown below:

Pile cap design procedures for vertical and lateral/overturning loads, respectively, are considered, along with a special chapter devoted to seismic design of pile caps. The Guide offers several practical pile cap design examples including complete manual solutions for vertical and lateral load situations as well as complimentary access to design spreadsheets.
