    This document discusses using carbon reinforced concrete piles as an alternative to traditional prestressed concrete piles which are prone to corrosion and have a relatively short service life. Two prototype piles were tested - a control pile with no internal reinforcement and an experimental pile with a carbon fiber grid. The experimental pile with carbon reinforcement failed in flexure and showed improved strength and stiffness over the unreinforced control pile. The document proposes producing carbon reinforced concrete piles using the spun cast method for its ability to create high strength, dense piles with low permeability. Four prototype spun cast carbon piles will be produced and tested to validate this alternative pile technology.

    Spun Cast Carbon Reinforced

    Concrete Piles
    ¾Background Piles at the old St. George
    Prestessed concrete piles are island bridge (Florida)
    currently used in Florida. Problems:
    9Corrosion of reinforcing steel
    9Relatively short service life
    9High maintenance cost
    ¾Benefits
    9Immunity to corrosion
    9Longer service life
    9Lower maintenance cost
    9High strength
    ¾Setbacks
    9Non ductile behavior of Damaged pile (30-
    carbon 35 yrs in service at
    9High initial cost St. George bridge)
    9Lower stiffness

    Pile Prototypes
    Carbon
    ¾ Two prototypes Reinforcement Cage
    Carbon Grid
    9 Control (no grid in the
    center section)
    9 Grid (2 layers of carbon grid
    in the center section)
    Carbon Rebars
    Test Set-Up

    Concrete Pouring

    ¾ Prototype testing
    9 Control: Simply supported four-
    point bending. Failure mode:
    shear-flexure
    9 Grid: Simply supported three-
    point bending because of shear
    Control Grid failure in control pile. Failure
    mode: Flexure

    ¾ Spun cast method
    9 Used to produce utility poles
    by placing concrete in the
    mold and then spin it
    ¾ Spun cast piles
    9 High concrete strength
    9 High Density
    9 Less permeable ¾ Carbon span cast piles
    9 Advantages
    • Easier production method
    • Proven technology
    • Equipment already available
    ¾ 4 piles will be produced
    and tested
