APPLICATION OF SHEET PILES IN ONSHORE AND MARINE STRUCTURES
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Sheet piles, particularly steel sheet piles, in marine jetty are used as ship berthing structures in ports or harbors for mooring vessels. The aim of this paper is to explain the application of sheet piles. Also, explaining the different types of materials used in sheet piles, such as wooden, concrete and steel. The usages of them in different applications, then the types of sheet pile sections like U-section and Z-section, which are commonly used in the world, are another aim of this paper. The concern of this research is approached in different steps. Firstly, by reviewing the existing recent studies which determine the types of sheet piles performance in onshore structures. Secondly, it studied the factors affecting the design of sheet piles that are obtained from penetration, type of structures and section modulus, in order to resistance against rotations as well as the stability of sheet piles against overturning moments and horizontal force. Thirdly, it determines the best sections of sheet piles that have the main role to minimize project cost and performance period. Finally, the procedures used to drive the sheet piles and their disadvantages are also mentioned.
