Abstract

The article presents field experiences in dynamic monitoring of vinyl sheet pile installation in close vicinity to various buildings. I summarizes experiences gained by student trainees in course of practical excursions and assignments on the building site. The presented case study is somehow unique due to unusual material and technology. Vinyl sheet piles used for the study are lightweight and extremely durable alternative to the traditional materials such as steel, concrete or wood. Application of vinyl sheet piles is an environmentally friendly solution, however, their installation is usually performed by means of vibratory driving. The paper presents basic advantaged of technology, examples of applications and sheet pile wall installing procedures. Result of continuous dynamic monitoring of piling works and observations of neighbouring structures technical conditions are presented, discussed with regard to other (formerly published) results and form the basis for conclusions about presented technology applicability.
