Abstract:

The research scope of this proposal focuses on the development and testing of an innovative Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) H-pile system for use in bridge foundations in Alabama. The main goal is to design a cost-effective, durable H-shaped prestressed pile that matches the physical dimensions and weight characteristics of traditional steel H-piles. By leveraging the superior strength, durability, and drivability properties of UHPC, the study aims to produce a pile that not only offers higher bearing capacity but also reduces maintenance costs over time compared to conventional steel or concrete piles. This will be achieved through detailed design, optimization, and testing of several H-shaped UHPC cross-sections, followed by full-scale field testing to evaluate their performance under axial and lateral loads in various soil conditions.
