QO PRECAST/PRESTRESSED CONCRETE INSTITUTE PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PILING INTERACTION DIAGRAMSINTERACTION DIAGRAMS EXPLAINED BY AND TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH PCI COMMITTEE REPORT Recommended Practice for Design Manufacture and Installation of Prestressed Concrete Piling PCI JOURNAL, V. 38, NO. 2, MARCH/APRIL 1993INTRODUCTION Interaction diagrams are presented for the ultimate capacity of common pile sizes for strengths of 5000, 6000, 7000 and 8000 psi (34.5, 41.4, 48.3 and 55.2 MPa) and for effective prestress levels of 700 and 1200 psi (4.8 and 8.3 MPa). Example design aids are presented in the Recommended Practice which deals with the ultimate strength of prestressed concrete pile sections subject to axial loads and bending. These diagrams are essentially three- dimensional charts in which the parameters are: (1) axial load strength (2) bending moment strength (3) slendemess ratio, h’/r The piles are assumed to act as prestressed concrete columns subject to combinations of axial force and bending. A strength reduction factor, 4, has already been included in the diagrams. The following assumptions were used in the development of the interaction diagrams: (1) Minimum concrete cover over the strand = 2.25 in. (2) Circular Strand Pattern for all pile sections including the solid square sections. Substantial effort has been made to ensure that the interaction diagrams are accurate. However, PCI cannot accept responsibility for any errors or oversights in the use of this material or in the preparation of engineering plans. This publication is intended for use by professional personnel competent to evaluate the significance and limitations of its contents and able to accept responsibility for the application of the material it contains.24"/12" HOLLOW SQUARE PILE 24"/12" HOLLOW SQUARE PILE 13-STRANDS, f', = 5 ksi 13-STRANDS, f', = 6 ksi 1600 2000 1200 1500 wir=0 nie=o — Pel Soap 800 1000 AXIAL LOAD. § Pr (kips) 400 AXIAL LOAD_f Pn (kips) 500 9 -400 500 ~1900 “yao 200 300 400 500) BENDING MOMENT § Mn (tk) 00 200 300 400 300] BENDING MOWENT Fm (ft)24"/14" HOLLOW SQUARE PILE T2“STRANDS, f'e = 5 ksi 24"/14" HOLLOW SQUARE PILE 12-STRANDS, fe = 6 ksi 1200 1000 800 600 400 AXIAL LOAD § Pri (kips) 200 ° 200 —400 600 BENDING MOMENT. § Mn (FLK.)
