# Pier Cap Code Check T

This section creates code check templates for pier caps and end bents.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Navigation:** Templates for Code Check and Load Rating > Pier Cap Code Check
{% endhint %}

## Steps

### Step 1: Navigate to Pier Cap Code Check Template

Navigate to **Templates for Code Check and Load Rating > Pier Cap Code Check** in the tree view.

![Navigation](https://openbrim.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/2235334971/image-20230731-104719.png?api=v2)

### Step 2: Create Templates

Create two templates:

* **PierCapCT** - for pier cap code checks
* **EBCapCT** - for end bent code checks

### Step 3: Assign Load Combination Table

Click the **three-dots icon** on **Load Combination Table** and select **SubstructureLCT**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Since pier caps and end bents are substructure elements, use the substructure load combination table.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/examples/concrete-bridge-examples/example-prestressed-i-girder-concrete-bridge-ex1-pig/templates-for-code-check-and-load-rating-ex1-pig/pier-cap-code-check-t-ex1-pig.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
