Steps

Step 1: Navigate to Pier Cap Code Check T

Navigate to Templates for Code Check > Pier Cap Code Check T in the tree view.

Step 2: Configure Flexure Checks

Set parameters for flexural capacity verification:

• Moment capacity calculations

• Reinforcement requirements

• Crack control checks

Step 3: Configure Shear Checks

Set parameters for shear capacity verification:

• Shear strength calculations

• Stirrup requirements

• Interface shear (if applicable)

Step 4: Define Check Locations

Specify critical sections:

• Column faces

• Bearing locations

• Maximum moment regions

Quick Tip: Load Transfer

Pier caps transfer loads from bearings to columns. Ensure strut-and-tie provisions are considered for deep beam behavior if applicable.

Verification

After completing these steps, the pier cap code check template is ready for design verification.
