Characterization of Precast UHPC Pile Drivability

In 2005, AASHTO identified extending the service life and optimizing structural systems of bridges as two grand challenges for bridge engineering. Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) possesses superior strength and durability, which can assist in meeting these challenges. The research team has explored the use of UHPC in deep foundation applications. H-shaped precast, prestressed UHPC piles have been designed and prefabricated. The UHPC piles...
