Zusammenfassung:	This paper discusses the comparative study of design moments for pile cap with conventional methods and finite element analysis. If a detailed finite element analysis is adopted, flexibility of the pile cap is considered. When a pile cap is designed by truss analogy, 80% of the tension reinforcement is concentrated in the region where the cap is supported on piles and at the column, which depends on design moments. It is observed that the difference in the design moments was considerable and should be taken into account for calculation and placing of reinforcement.
