Steel Sheet Pile Wall

Provides high resistance to driving stresses.

Steel sheet pile wall.

A permanent application is stay in place where the sheet piling wall is driven and remains in the ground. With cantilever sheet pile walls step 2 is not required. The ability of a sheet pile section to perform is dependent upon its geometry and the soils it is driven into. Once the work is completed the sheet piling is removed.

Generally the use of timber piles limits to temporary structures in which the depth of driving is not greater than 3 m. Steel sheet pile is classified in two construction applications permanent and temporary. Steel sheet piling is the most common because of several advantages over other materials. A temporary application provides access and safety for construction in a confined area.

Steel sheet piles are long structural sections with a vertical interlocking system that create a continuous wall. Can be reused on several projects. Flat sheet piling typically used for circular cell design applications flat sheet piling is a proven technology that is still used on many projects. Hammer steel sells and rents grade 60 steel sheet piling which can give improvement of 20 in design life compared to a sheet pile in grade 50 steel.

σallow freduction σy. Structural factors of safety for steel sheet piling most steel sheet piling is still designed using allowable stress design methods. Sheet piles also adopt. The walls are often used to retain either soil or water.

The allowable stress is thus equation 2 1. Steel piles are suitable for permanent structures in which the depth of driving exceeds 3 m.
