Alternative Splicing Options for Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) H-Piles
Pile splicing is generally considered in construction because of transportation limits, length requirements, construction means and methods, and strength capacity. A major challenge in the use of precast prestressed UHPC piles is the lack of efficient and effective splicing solutions. To address the problem, this study evaluated different pile splicing methods for UHPC H-piles and their constructability. The analysis and design for strength capacity and detailing presented here are based on relevant established guidelines and design codes for UHPC. This study assessed two pile splicing methods: epoxy-bonded dowels and near-surface mounted bars (NSMBs). The analysis demonstrated that the epoxy-bonded dowel method provides a moment capacity that is 127% of the pile moment capacity in the strong direction and 139% of the pile moment capacity in the weak direction. In comparison, the NSMB method achieved 121% in the strong direction and 106% in the weak direction. Both methods developed the established strength capacity requirements. The constructability of both pile splicing options was evaluated to provide practical guidelines for their preparation in preplanned and unplanned situations. The results reported are for 18-inch UHPC H-piles; however, the construction and analytical approach applies to other pile sizes as well. The pile splicing options developed are recommended for further experimental investigations.
