Interfacial Shear Transfer between Steel H-Piles and Concrete Encased in CFRP

Abstract

Abstract Numerous in-service steel H-piles, a common structural element in the bridge industry, suffer severe corrosion. One of the adopted solutions is to use concrete jackets to encase the corroded sections. Therefore, interfacial shear strength ... Practical Applications In this study, 18 full-scale H-piles were tested while encased in confined concrete jackets (CJ) to assess how different materials and designs influence their strength. Emphasis was placed on how applying these findings could ...
