9.0 Sheet Pile Design

9.1 Sheet Pile Properties

The sheet piles specified will be AZ26-700 S240 GP. The pile properties are given below:

ArcelorMittal

9.2 Section Classification

Table 5.1
BS EN
1993-5:2007

For the AZ26-700 S240 GP Section:

b= 361 mm , tf = 12 mm , ε= 0.99 N/mm2

(b/tf) / ε = 30 <= 45

Therefore section is class 2 (No rotation check will be carried out)

9.3 Bending Capacity

For simplicity the bending capacity will be determined using Class 3 rules based
on the elastic section properties.

5.2.2 (2)
BS EN
1993-5:2007

βB = 1.0 (For Z-piles)

Wel = 2600 cm3/m

fy = 240 N/mm2

γmo = 1.0 (NA +A1:2012 to BS EN 1993-5:2007)

Based on the above the moment resistance is:

Mc,Rd = 624 kNm/m > 335 OK

9.4 Shear Capacity

The design plastic shear resistance for each web of the sheet pile is given by:

5.2.2 (4)
BS EN
1993-5:2007

fy = 240 N/mm2

γmo = 1.0 (NA +A1:2012 to BS EN 1993-5:2007)

tw = 12.5 mm

h = 460.0 mm

tf = 12.5 mm

Av = 5594 mm

Vpl,Rd = 775 kN > 239 OK
