For the pedestal design, it limits the maximum spacing of pedestal reinforcement to 6". Why is it restricted to user definition? Probably because of this constraint, reinforcement provided is way higher than required. Almost 10x the moment demand. PD…

Can I find somewhere detailed calculation on pile cap design that staad foundation is performing? Currently, for pile cap design, it directly shows the calculated reinforcement ratio without showing any calculation on moment and shear demand.
