# 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 %}

| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Procedures for Shear Resistance (β and θ) | Generalized                                  |
| Include axial effects on flexure/shear    | Yes                                          |

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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
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=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
