TYPES OF PILING
AZ TYPE SECTIONS
■ Z-type sheet piles are the preferred choice for permanent applications.
■ Among the essential characteristics of Z-shaped sheet piles are the continuous form of the web and the specific location of the interlock symmetrically on both sides of the neutral axis.
■ These two attributes have a positive influence on the section modulus. The AZ® series combine a section with extraordinary characteristics with the quality-proven Larssen interlock.
U TYPE SECTIONS
■ Millions of tonnes of U-shaped sheet piles have been used all over the world for all kind of structures for more than 100 years.
■ The advantages of U-shaped piles are multiple:
– wide range of sections ;
– excellent static properties ;
– great aptitude for re-use and driving into compact soils, especially the sections with reinforced shoulders (PU 22, …) ;
– very good installation quality and performance.
COMBINED WALLS
■ Steel sheet piles can easily be combined to form special arrangements and create systems with large bending resistance. Combined walls can be built up with box piles or steel tubes and standard sheet piles are one of these solutions.
AS 500® sTRAIGHT WEB STEEL SHEET PILES (CIRCULAR CELLS)
■ Batardourile celulare formate din profile AS500® sunt proiectate pentru a forma structuri cilindrice, reținând în interiorul lor material de umplutură.
■ Stabilitatea acestui tip de structură, construită în acest mod, este dată de anvelopa de oțel și masa umpluturii, garantată de propria greutate.
■ Palplanșele AS500 sunt folosite mai ales la proiecte în care straturile de rocă sunt destul de puțin adânci (aproape de nivelul de excavare), unde adâncimea săpăturii este foarte mare, unde ancorarea ar fi dificilă sau chiar imposibilă în regiunile seismice.
