Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Pile Cap using ATENA

Reinforced concrete (RC) Pile cap, a thick reinforced block, is constructed to provide connection between structure and multiple single piles. In the existing design methods, behavior of RC pile cap usually considered as rigid body resulting forces or reactions on piles are assumed equal. However, in actual conditions, there possibility bending un-equal This study represents detailed finite element analysis eight-pile by using computer program ATENA. ATENA serve rational tools explain structures. Research parameters included different types loading such linear non-linear, support length pile, strength thickness cap. The results indicate that not unequal. Also, it was observed that, type had significant effect global caps.
