Abstract:
The Concrete Q&A provides an answer for designing a baseplate anchored with rods embedded in a concrete pile cap. To bound a solution for design, two options are considered: a rigid baseplate, with the largest distance from the location of the compression reaction to the critical point, and a flexible baseplate, with the smallest internal lever arm and the largest design axial forces in the anchors.
