Unreinforced, Centrally Prestressed Columns and Piles
This project evaluated the concept of unreinforced centrally prestressed concrete (CPUC) columns and piles for application to highway systems. Tests verified that the prestressed concrete columns provided a substantial increase in effective cross section to withstand both axial and shear loading compared to conventional reinforced concrete columns. Tests were also conducted on a steel-concrete component, called 'extended performance flexural' (EFP) device that provided exceptional ductility to concrete columns. Results showed that the EFP device enabled the CPUC columns to mitigate and to safely withstand repititive force effects generated by severe seismic action.
