Abstract
The PHC pile has been increasingly used due to its implementation of the top-base method, which is advantageous in high penetration rate and bearing capacity reinforcement. Typically, when a PHC pile is manufactured, high-strength mixed materials are mainly used to enhance the compressive strength. However, recent studies have been conducted to utilize ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) in terms of economic efficiency. For this reason, this study manufactured PHC pile considering the replacement ratio and curing conditions of GGBS instead of high-strength mixed materials, and further investigated the engineering properties of the PHC pile. According to the experimental results, the compressive strength of GGBS-replaced PHC pile increased by steam curing, and particularly, PHC pile with 20% replacement of GGBS under $80^{\circ}C$ steam curing condition showed a compressive strength of approximately 84MPa. Furthermore, the experimental results confirmed that more hydration products were generated under the $80^{\circ}C$ steam curing condition than that under the $20^{\circ}C$ steam curing condition, which would affect the higher density of the PHC pile as well as the increase in the compressive strength.
