ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILES AND COLUMNS

THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PRISMATIC SECTIONS SUBJECTED TO AXIAL LOADS AND BENDING IS DISCUSSED. ALTHOUGH THE TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED ARE APPLICABLE TO PRESTRESSED CONCRETE COLUMNS IN GENERAL, THE POTENTIAL FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATION IS MAINLY RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILES, WHICH FUNCTION STRUCTURALLY AS A SPECIAL CASE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS. INTERACTION DIAGRAMS FOR THE ULTIMATE CAPACITY OF A SERIES OF STANDARD PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILES PRODUCED IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST ARE PRESENTED. THESE PILES ARE FURNISHED IN CONCRETE STRENGTHS OF 6000,7000, AND 8000 PSI, ALL STRESSED TO AN EFFECTIVE PRESTRESS LEVEL OF 1200 PSI. APPLICATIONS OF THE INTERACTION DIAGRAMS TO DESIGN INCLUDE PILE COLUMNS FOR A LONG-SPAN BRIDGE./AUTHOR/
