1. A method for forming pile splice sections for a spliced prestressed concrete pile, the method comprising:
providing a first pile section form including a first end assembly, a second end assembly, and concrete element form between the first and second end assemblies, the first end assembly comprising a first plate at a first end of the concrete element form and the second end assembly comprising a second plate at a second end of the concrete element form, the first end assembly further comprising a plurality of internally threaded fasteners coupled to the first plate and extending into the concrete element form, the second end assembly further comprising a plurality of bent plates that each defines a pocket extending into the concrete element form; securing a first plurality of prestress tendons to the first plate and the second plate such that the first plurality of prestress tendons extend through the concrete element form; tensioning the first plurality of prestress tendons; filling the first end assembly, second end assembly, and concrete element form with concrete such that the internally threaded fasteners are embedded in the concrete and the concrete does not enter the pockets; releasing the tension from the first plurality of prestress tendons after allowing the concrete to cure; and removing the cured concrete from the first pile section form. |
