Design for main reinforcement:

Effective depth of pile cap (d)

According to Truss theory:

Effective length of pile cap (2 Lxy)
Tension to be resisted by main reinforcement, Txy

Tension to be resisted by main reinforcement, Ty

Net tension to be resisted by main reinforcement, Tx

Net tension to be resisted by main reinforcement, Ty

According to Flexural theory:
Moment parallel to X axis
K = M / fcu b d2
Z = d(0.5 + (0.25 - K / 0.9))
Moment parallel to Y axis
K = M / fcu b d2
Z = d(0.5 + (0.25 - K / 0.9))
