The choice of a metal sheet piling for the construction of the foundation pit

Abstract

Sheet piles are often used for fencing deep excavations. This is due, among other things, to the fact that when they are pressed, there is no negative impact on the surrounding buildings. In the course of the study, a technical and economic comparison of the domestic sheet pile L4 and its foreign analogue VL603K was carried out. The relevance of the study is confirmed by the fact that during the construction of underground parts of buildings and structures, great attention is paid to engineering measures to prevent the ingress of groundwater into the pits, as well as to strengthen the walls of the excavations from the possibility of collapse in unstable and water-bearing soils. It is also taken into account that the choice of the foundation pit construction depends on its depth, the level of groundwater and the structural scheme of the underground part of the structure, it is also necessary to carry out a static calculation to determine the thickness of the fence and its immersion depth. The analysis of sheet piles also revealed their disadvantages and advantages.
