Post Tensioned Pile Splices Using Embedded And Intermediate Anchorages
- Technology Benefits
- Strands anchored to stronger precompressed regionsCost effective splicing systemStructurally robust
- Technology Application
- civil, structural engineering industries and the department of transportation
- Detailed Technology Description
- USF inventors have successfully developed a novel method to splice prestressed concrete piles using splice post tensioning via intermediate anchorages. The splice is formed by passing steel strands into the weaker ends of the piles through preformed ducts and up into the stronger precompressed regions. The steel strands are anchored at the sides of the pile using post tensioning fixtures.
