Abstract
This paper discusses some of the problems related to the design and construction of integral and semi-integral bridges and the potential use of steel sheet piles as their permanent structural elements. The study focused on analyzing a recent application of this approach to support two overpasses in the TS-1 tunnel project completed in Kielce, Poland. The findings concerning the load-carrying capacity of steel sheet piles acting as supports indicate that this solution has a very high potential and it can be used on a much larger scale, not only in integral bridges but also in buildings and other non-building structures.
