• Abstract:
  The overall goal of this project is the experimental evaluation and design of unfilled and concrete-filled FRP ; composite piles for load-bearing in bridges. This report covers Task 6, FRP Composite Pile Axial Compression ; Testing. ; Hollow and concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) piles with a nominal diameter of 24 inches were tested in ; axial compression to examine degradation in apparent longitudinal modulus due to pile driving. All specimens ; achieved the proof load of 1000 kips with no visible damage. Hollow piles showed no reduction in apparent ; longitudinal modulus due to driving. No definitive trend in apparent longitudinal modulus could be seen in the ; concrete-filled piles, because the driven piles were filled with concrete from a different supplier 205 days prior to ; the baseline piles.
