Abstract : The design of pile caps is a critical aspect of structural engineering, particularly for transferring loads from superstructures to pile foundations. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Strut-and-Tie Method (STM), as specified in ACI 318-2005, in comparison to conventional design methods outlined in IS 456-2000, IRC 21, and Thin Plate Theory. The analysis focuses on pile caps supported by two-pile, three-pile, and four-pile groups subjected to axial loads.
