RECOMMENDED PRACTICE FOR DESIGN, MANUFACTURE AND INSTALLATION OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILING.

Abstract

The Prestressed Concrete Institute report covers design of prestressed concrete piling, materials and manufacture, handling and transportation, and an extensive discussion of installation including best driving practices. Under design, allowable stresses are given, typical interaction charts show their application to piles subject to bending, and sample design problems suggest design approaches. Load testing is also covered. Selected references and reference standards are included. 13 refs.
