A rational pile design balanced with the ultimate design method employed for superstructures requires the ultimate capacity of piles especially the shear strength. In the current design of the pretentioned spun high strength concrete pile (hereafter referred as PHC pile) prescribed by JIS, only an allowable stress design is assigned, then the safety against the ultimate failure has not been examined. In this research we carried out the anti-symmetric bending shear tests on the full scale to 1/4 models of the large diameter PHC piles. According the test results, we evaluate parameters affecting on the ultimate shear strength of the pile, and also examine the conformity of the previously proposed theories for the ultimate shear strength.
