Checks for limiting parameters (pile cap:EC2)
Check for distance of pile cap overhang
Check pile edge distance "e" for pile "i" in a pile group for both directions:
The check passes if:
If min ei > emin,user
Check for minimum pile spacing
Check centre to centre spacing "s" between piles "i" and "j" in a pile group:
The check passes if:
If sij > smin,user
where
smin,user = user input
Check for maximum pile spacing
Check centre to centre maximum spacing "s" between piles "i" and "j" in a pile group:
The check passes if:
If sij < smax,user
smax,user = user input
Other checks
The remaining checks are identical to those for pad bases, see: Design parameters for longitudinal bars (concrete beam and slab: EC2)
