Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for driving a sheet pile wall into the ground as defined in the first part of claim 1.
  • the strip welded to the pile sheet and extending therefrom has a bend, such, that the first part of the strip extends from the respective wall part of the pile sheet under a relatively steep angle and the second part of the strip extends from the bend towards and along the outer side of the guiding groove to bear on said outer side under a certain pretension.
  • the invention aims at providing an improvement of this well-known method.
  • the strip fastened in accordance with the method of the present invention provides for a really effective use of a sealing substance and thereby obtaining a 100% leakproof sheet pile wall, because the strip according to the invention also tends to effectively trap the sealing substance within the guiding groove, due to which the substance will be distributed uniformly around the incoming free longitudinal edge of the next pile sheet and will also uniformly flow outwardly between the free edge portion of the strip and the opposite groove bottom portion of said next pile sheet.
  • the present invention also relates to a sheet pile as defined in the first part of claim 3.
  • the pile sheet is characterized by the features as defined in the second part of claim 3.
  • document FR-A-2197439 discloses an assembly of two sheet piles in mutual engagement, wherein in the dihedral angle between the two interlocking edge formations of the sheet piles - on the earth side of the pile sheets of the formed pile sheet - a sealing assembly is provided.
  • the well-known sealing assembly comprises a profiled sealing element of rubberlike material, having a first resilient sealing lip to sealingly engage a body wall portion of one of the two interlocking sheet piles, and a second resilient sealing lip to sealingly engage a wall portion of the edge formation of the second sheet pile.
  • the sealing element is kept in place by a metallic covering strip that is fastened, by means of a flange extending along one of its longitudinal edges, to the body wall of the first sheet pile and extends with its free longitudinal edge towards the opposite wall portion of the edge formation of the second sheet pile.
  • this well-known sealing assembly is to be put into place (i.e. in the respective dihedral angle) only after the sheet piles have been driven into the ground.
  • A designates a pile sheet of a common type having a trapezoidal cross-section.
  • the longitudinal edge formations indicated at 1 comprise a catching and guiding groove with an undercut cross-section.
  • the free, thickened longitudinal edges of the groove are indicated at 3.
  • the longitudinal edge formations 1 shown in the drawing enable to have the pile sheet A enter into engagement with a second, similar pile sheet A' (see the dash lines in fig. 1).
  • a strip 3 of e.g. steel plate is fastened, by welding, with one longitudinal edge - at 6 - on the outer side of the right hand oblique trapezium side 5.
  • the strip 4 extends across the guiding groove 2 and bears with its free longitudinal edge portion 4a turned away from the fastening weld 6 on or substantially on the free longitudinal edge 3 of the pile sheet A.
  • the pile sheet A of fig. 1 represents a pile sheet that has already been driven into the ground, and that a second pile sheet A' is being driven into the ground to the right of pile sheet A, such that the left hand longitudinal edge formation enters into sliding engagement with the right hand longitudinal edge formation of the pile sheet A.
  • the wall portion 7' forming the bottom of the guiding groove in the left hand longitudinal edge formation of the pile sheet A' will gradually lift the free longitudinal edge portion 4a of the strip 4 off the free longitudinal edge 3 of the pile sheet A - under progressive deformation of the strip 4 - due to which the strip will ultimately become pressed onto the outer side of the wall portion 8 along its entire length (height) (fig. 2).
  • Fig. 3 shows the case, in which pile sheets are used, which are provided on both longitudinal edges with a guiding groove covering strip.
  • pile sheets which are provided on both longitudinal edges with a guiding groove covering strip.
