Foundation Design - New Pile Cap Design for Australian Head Code to AS 3600 : 2009

Bringing foundation design to the Australian Head Code in line with that in other Head codes, the Tekla Structural Designer 2020 release adds the design of Pile Caps to AS 3600 : 2009. The functionality matches that of the existing design for the Eurocode and US design codes and supports auto-design of both the pile cap and pile selection. Comprehensive detail drawings of pile caps and piles can also automatically be produced.

  • Key aspects of the design are:

    • Pile caps can be modelled with 1 to 9 pile configurations.

    • There are options to auto-design; cap depth, number of piles and reinforcement.

    • The following checks are performed with extensive design details reported for each:
      • Pile capacity check

      • Pile cap bending check

      • Pile Cap shear capacity check

      • Column and pile punching shear check

      • Pile pair punching check

      • Pile one-way shear check.

      • Check for limiting parameters (spacings, edge distance, thickness etc.)

    • The engineer can choose the pile capacity to be considered for pile punching and shear checks.
