RES2023-04: Best Practices for Bridges with Pipe Piles
Pipe piles (PP) and concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) have been used on bridge projects in Tennessee for decades. Parameters defining PP/CFST installations include piling material, fill material, connection details, field capacity prediction, design criteria, and corrosion protection measures. These six parameters have varied greatly from project to project and there is no standardized process whereby the most suitable parameters may be established for a particular project. Seismic design parameters need to be standardized within Division of Structures design policy for both consultant and in-house design. Additionally, local buckling of pipe piles is not properly addressed in current design specifications.
