| Abstract | F requently it is necessary, or at least desirable, to splice precast prestressed concrete piles. The advantages of reducing the lengths of long piles into shorter sections are that it. I. Results in easier handling during transportation and in the pile driver leads. 2. Minimizes the chance of cracking during handling. 3. Permits greater flexibility in determining required length of pile. 4, Allows extensions of piles when necessary. 5. Reduces cost in transportation. 6. Simplifies storage at the precasting yard and at the construction site. These advantages can only be achieved if the splice is economicaI, can develop the structural. capacity of the pile section and the connection can be made quickly and without the requirements of special trade skills in the field. This report presents the results of an extensive investigation of the structural capacity of a wedge-type splice for 12-in. (305 mm) square precast prestressed concrete piles.' |
