Design of 2 and 4 piles caps by the Strut and Tie method

Two spreadsheets for the design of 2 and 4 piles caps by the Strut and Tie Method, taking into consideration the stress limits in EN1992-1-1.

The spreadsheet uses a combined model, allowing the use of the column reinforcement to reduce the compressive forces on the CCC(C) node at the column/cap connection. Only compressive axial forces in the column are considered.

Detailed handwritten notes of the model assumptions are also included in the files.
