What Are The Soil Quality Requirements For Steel Sheet Piles?

The steel sheet pile is a type of steel with a lock. Its cross-sections include straight plate, groove Z-shaped, etc., and are available in various sizes and interlocking forms. Its advantages are high strength, easy to drive into hard soil, constructed in deep water, and diagonal supports that can be added to form a cage if necessary. It has good waterproof performance; it can form cofferdams of various shapes as needed and can be reused many times. Therefore, it has a wide range of uses. So what are the requirements for soil quality when using Jiangxi steel sheet piles?

The soil quality requirement for steel sheet piles is soft soil with lots of water. The prefabricated and directly driven steel sheet piles can be rigid water-stop curtains. Their cross-sections have straight plate-shaped grooves and various sizes and interlocking forms. When driving steel sheet piles, they are subject to The impact of soil quality is small, so the steel sheet pile support method can also be used in civil engineering projects such as foundation excavation and soil replacement to protect the smooth progress of the project.

Steel plate soil construction details:

Before driving the pile, the groove at the tip of the pile should be closed to prevent soil from squeezing into the lock. Butter or other grease should be applied to the lock. Steel sheet piles that have been in disrepair and are deformed and corroded should be renovated to correct bending and deformation. During the piling process, methods such as hydraulic jack pressure or fire baking are used to correct the division of piling flow sections. To ensure the verticality of the steel sheet piles, use two theodolites to control it in two directions. The position and direction of the first two steel sheet piles to be driven should be accurate to serve as a guide model. Therefore, the driving force should be measured every 1 meter. After reaching the predetermined depth, immediately use steel bars or steel plates and weld with the purlin brackets for temporary fixation.
