Spun pile is one of the types of piles are widely used in the world construction, for example in building and bridge. Spun pile is a prestressed concrete pile with circular hollow section. This paper provides an overview of the research development of spun pile, starting from 80's until now. This overview is related to methods of increasing the strength and reliability of spun pile due to earthquake loads, either by modifying the longitudinal reinforcement and confinement. In addition, this paper also discusses about the failure patterns of spun pile due to seismic loads. Finally, this paper can be a reference for understanding the scope of the research topics that have been done by researchers. Thus, by this overview can be obtained new idea for the next research to improve the performance of spun pile carry seismic loads.

In steel design, enhancing the structural joints’ capacity is considered a challenge that faces the designer. This challenge becomes more difficult when it comes to enhancing the capacities of circular hollow section (CHS) joints due to their closed nature that complicates the strengthening process. Recent research related to strengthening T-joints by utilizing two outer hollow ring flanges welded to additional pipe showed that this technique can significantly improve the joints’ strength. In this study, the utilization of this technique is extended for enhancing the axial strength of CHS X-joints. In this regard, a parametric study using finite element models was carried out to investigate the different design aspects that might affect the behavior of strengthened X-joints. The examined parameters included, the ring flange diameter, the stiffening pipe thickness and length for different brace diameter-to-chord diameter ratios and chord diameter to double chord thickness ratio. The results demonstrated that these strengthened X-joints gained significant axial strength that reached up to three times the axial strength of the unstrengthened joints. Guidelines for proper detailing of such strengthening scheme were provided. Finally, an equation that estimates the axial strength of strengthened joints was established based on the achieved results.
