Does RAM use the pile cap self weight to reduce tension forces in piles?
In the foundation module, does RAM use the pile cap self weight to reduce tension forces in piles? I do not see a check box for it the way there is one to include self weight for spread footings.
Thanks,

How to define spring constant of a pile for design of a pile foundation?
Dear Sir,
I am designing a pile foundation in staad using the plate modeling and defining the pile supports as springs. How should i calculate the spring constant.
My vertical pile capacity is 150MT and allowable deflection of pile head is 12mm. Is…
How can Staad Foundation Advanced design the pile cap with only one pile under it?
Hi I am trying to design a pile cap with only one pile underneath. When I run the program, it doesn't allow me to select single pile but I have to select minimum 2 piles. How can I design with only one pile under it? Thanks.
Inclined Piles on STAAD Foundation Advanced
I would like to know if it is possible to use inclined piles in Staad Foundation Advanced and, if it is, how to do so.
combined pile cap design using staad foundation
hi,
we are designing the pile foundation for our structure, where we need to design a pile cap for two columns combined.
how to do it in STAAD Foundation.
we tried in staad but its taking single column only.
please clarify.
regards,
SENTH…
RE: Calculation of Pile Cap Thickness
The depth of pile cap is finalized based on a number of criteria. Software first ensures that that the considered depth is at least 1.5 times dia of pile and then also checks whether it is able to satisfy the one way shear, punching shear and the flexural…
RE: RAM Foundation
When pile cap foundations are used in Ram Foundation the user specifies the compression, tension and shear capacity of the piles. The user also specifies the diameter of the piles which, along with the pile cap optimization criteria, determines the geometry…
RE: STAAD Foundation Advanced - Pile Cap Design
Defining a Pile Cap job type is fine for your case. I think you are using the Pile Layout (Parametric) option to define the piles. So once you specify the pile diameter, edge to center line of pile distance, number of rows, columns and spacing of piles…
RE: pile cap in RAM Foundation
We don't have every configuration of piles - just the 2,3,5,7,8 and rectangular arrays.
STAAD Foundation Advanced can do this if that's any help.
DESIGN OF PILE CAP USING SOLID ELEMENT
STAAD.Pro experts, please share a sample model with a brief explanation on the design of a pile cap using solid elements in STAAD.Pro utilizing ACI code (for example a pile cap on a trestle or wharf).
Any help please!
Regards,
Design of Pile Block
My structure is a wharf wherein the columns and beams are modeled as a beam element and the slab and pile cap are modeled as plate element and solid element respectively. Now, what forces of a solid element should be use to manually design the pile cap…
Forces to be Consider in Designing Pile Cap for Trestle or Marine Structure Using Plate and Shell/Solid Element in STAAD.Pro
Can someone guide me what forces from plate and shell/solid element should be extracted from the finite element analysis of STAAD.Pro in designing pile cap of a trestle or Marine Structure???
Any comments/suggestions/recommendations on the matter…
