Combination 1 (construction stage) Notes:-- Analyse this 4-pile group system as a Space Truss with
With gf3 Hinged Supports at 1, 2, 3 & 4 (pile centre points at top of piles)
P 9630 Find out the loads at nodes5/6/7/8 as shown in the spreadsheet.
trans 1570 BM about L-L axis Put these Vertical loads at nodes 5, 6, 7 & 8 (nodes at pier base)
longi mom 1820 BM about T-T axis the idea of choosing 4 points at pier base is to convert the BMs to
vertical loads.
Load at node 5 3992 5 FY -3992
Load at node 6 2475 6 FY -2475 node 5 node 7
Load at node 7 2340 7 FY -2340 Pier base/ top of pile cap
Load at node 8 823 8 FY -823 node 6 node 8

divide the pier base area into 4 equal parts and choose their centre points
as nodal points as shown above

Combination 2 From the analysis find out the tie forces : 1-2, 2-4, 3-4 & 1-3.
With gf3 Take the max of 1-2 & 3-4 & get the required steel & put in each band
P 23006 This reinforcement must be provided over the piles only( 1to2 * 3 to 4)
ML 19073 Do the same for ties 1-3 and 2-4.
MT 1740 The strut forces are supposed to be taken by concrete which is strong
HT 0 in compression. Provide suitable distribution steel at other places.
