• Abstract:
  Large structures like bridges or tall buildings are often built on deep foundations — either precast concrete piles or cast-in-place drilled shafts. The pile or shaft must be long enough to reach ; a rock layer or to provide sufficient resistance to support the structure. For piles, the needed length may exceed what can be transported or lifted. Then, it is necessary to splice two piles together. There are many splicing methods; however, spliced piles are often held to a lower range of pile-driving forces, thus increasing blow counts and driving times. Also, splices can fail during construction or underperform while in ; service. Any splice design must be mechanically strong and corrosion resistant.
