Abstract
Four prestressed high strength concrete (PHC) piles under low-cycle loading and two piles under monotonic flexural loading
were tested to study the test phenomena, failure modes, hysteretic performance, ductility and bearing capacity. It was indicated
that PHC piles failed suddenly and the bearing capacity decreased because of the tensile rupturing of prestressing tendons from
the results, and the hysteretic curves pinched. Nonlinear finite element models were established to analyze the mechanical
properties of PHC piles using ABAQUS and OpenSees. The results obtained from the numerical analysis compared well with the
experimental results. In addition, nonlinear finite element models were used to study influence of the position, pattern, number
and diameter of deformed bars to the PHC piles reinforced with deformed bars (PRC piles). The analysis results showed that the
deformed bars should be arranged evenly in circle direction, and the bearing capacity of PRC increased with the number and
diameter of deformed bars.
Keywords: prestressed high strength concrete piles, deformed bars, flexural capacity, finite element analysis

ruptured successively, and the pile took place brittle failure. A small
number of diagonal cracks appeared on the pile, but the pile failed in
flexure at last. The failure mode of P602 was similar to that of P601,
the load was 353 kN when the prestressing tendon was fractured,
and the deflection was 19.26 mm. The crack distribution of
specimen P602 is shown in Fig. 4. The quantity of crack is small,
and it is within the 1.5D range of mid-span.
