Development of unified European design rules for steel sheet piles and introduction into part 5 of Eurocode 3

Objective

The aim of this research project is to carry out experimental tests and numerical simulations on Steel Sheet Pile sections (SSP-sections), in order to determine the design resistances of SSP-sections, in accordance with the principles laid down in Eurocode 3, Part 1.1 and with respect to the interaction of local and global effects such as the soil-structure interaction, mentioned in Eurocode 7 (Action effects).
The basis for the development of principles and application rules for the design of SSP-sections in conformity with Eurocode 3, part 1.1 and Eurocode 7 will be established, based on the results of the experimental tests and numerical simulations and a code proposal will be worked out for introduction to CEN/TC250 for drafting Eurocode 3, Part 5 (Piling).
