# Pile Interaction \[SPIG]

Template that drives the Pile Interaction code check. Holds the load combination table and resistance factors used to compute pile axial-moment interaction.

## General

**Load Combination Table:** Load combination table used to combine analysis result cases into AASHTO limit states. All factored forces used by the pile interaction check come from this table.

## Design Parameters

**Ignore Rebar Tendon in Section Property Calc \[Yes/No]:** When Yes, longitudinal reinforcing bars and tendons are ignored when computing the pile section's gross-area properties (inertia, section modulus). When No, they are included in the gross-section property calculation.

**\[NAME\_ALIAS:Φ\_f]Resistance Factor Compression Controlled Section:** Resistance factor applied to compression interactions (default per AASHTO LRFD 5.5.4.2).

**\[NAME\_ALIAS:Φ\_f]Resistance Factor Tension Controlled Section:** Resistance factor applied to tension interactions.
