Sheet pile walls
DIN EN 1993‐5 permits plastic‐plastic design and other methods for steel sheet pile structures. Such a design approach, which exploits both the plastic cross‐section design and the plastic system load‐bearing capacity at the ultimate limit state, can also be appropriate for waterfront structures in certain cases. Sheet piles are frequently driven to different depths for technical and, in the case of fully fixed walls, for economic reasons, too. The permissible extent of these alternating embedment depths, known as a staggered arrangement, depends on the stresses in the bases of the longer piles and on construction issues. In order to save materials, anchor walls may be staggered in the same manner as the waterfront sheet pile wall. Both ends may be staggered in the same wall.
