As it was intended to analyze the behavior of the pile caps, it was
adopted in the piles and in the columns, compressive strength of
concrete equal to 50 MPa. The coefficients of shear transference
also had value equal to 1. The elasticity model of the steel and
concrete, as well as their respective Poisson coefficients, were
determined with recommendations of NBR 6118:2007 [1]. The re-
inforcement rates were equal in all models, whereas, the areas of

reinforcement of piles, of columns and ties are presented in Table

By Figures [21] to [24], it can be observed that there is more con-
centration of compression stress in the pile caps sections just be-
low the column and in the section of the piles farther from the pile
cap board, sections F and G – Figure [20]. It was verified that the
piles not requested uniformly, i.e., the sections farther from the pile
