    This document outlines three design assumptions for analyzing pile foundations: loads are uniformly distributed across piles based on their centroid; pile caps are rigid so deflection is equal across piles; and a truss theory known as the strut-and-tie method is used where the capacity of a tie is 0.87 times the steel area times the yield strength.

    Design Assumptions:

    1. Loads are applied at the centroid of the piles. Hence uniform load distribution.

    F/no. of piles = Load/per piles

    2. Pile Caps are rigid members

    If Δ1 = 1mm, then Δ2 = 1mm, Δ3 = 1mm

    3. Truss Theory of Design (Strut & Tie Method)
