Structural Analysis
1. Develop loads to be transferred across splice
- L-pile analysis (bending, shear)- Driving stresses (compression, tension)- Structural uplift requirements (tension)
2. Provide splice that adequately transfers:
- Compression
- Shear
- Tension
- Bending

Compression
Compression is transferred directly through bearing of
faying surfaces

Shear
• Shear capacity is typically controlled by the shear capacity of the reinforced concrete section
• Shear capacity at the splice is based on shear yield mechanical fixture:
Shear failure plane

Tension
In General:
When mechanical joining mechanism are designed to develop reinforcing:
(1) strand slip,
(2) strand rupture OR
(3) yield of reinforcing will control over all tensile limit states

Tension
Summary:
• Welds and locking mechanisms develop reinforcing
• Controlling Limit States:
(1) Strand slip (2) Strand Rupture, or (3) Yield of Reinforcing
• With Auxiliary Reinforcing, (1) Strand Slip will NOT control
• The limits states of the tension component of the bending couple are analogous

Recommendations for Use
1. SDC C: Pile joints must be located > 20 ft below pile cap
2. SDC D, E, and F: Pile joints must be located outside of the “ductile-zone” in defined in IBC 1809.2.3 (35 ft below pile cap, minimum)
3. Mn (joint) > 50% Mn (pile)
4. Minimum 28-day compressive strength of concrete = 6,000 psi
5. Design strength of pile at the splice can be determined using:
- Strain compatibility, and- Standard ACI development length formulation (for prestress & mild reinforcing)
