RC-PIER Material Properties tab

Ryan Fehr

I'm designing a pile cap abutment in RC-PIER, but I'm unsure how to input the material properties.  In the material properties tab, there are inputs for concrete cap, concrete footing, and concrete pile.  I have a concrete cap on steel H-piles.  RC-PIER will not allow blank/zero input.

1) What should I input for footing material since I do not have a footing?

2) How do I properly input steel pile material properties in the concrete pile tab?

    1) As you don't have footing in your case, so you may leave as is the default input values for footing in the materials dialog, because they have no impact on your design.
    2) RC-PIER does not offer analysis of steel piles, only allow user to input realistic pile capacities which are used to compare with the calculated pile reactions. So, there is no input for steel pile material properties.
