Design Manuai STEEL SHEET PILINGINTRODUCTION Nippon Steel Corporation, which began to manufacture steel sheet piling in 1930, has constantly worked to improve the quality of this product, As a result, Nippon Steel sheet piling has played a key part in numerous construction projects: quay walls, dolphins, shore protection works, docks and other permanent structures, as well as in such temporary structures as cofferdams and uaderground passageways. Users find that durable, high-quality Nippon Steel sheet piling facilitates precise engineering while reducing construction costs. That is why Nippon Stee!’s sheet piling and technical services have earned an excellent reputation around the world. This design manual is intended to help civil engineers build the steel sheet piling structure that best fits their requirements. It contains information about Nippon Steet sheet piling, describes sheet piling structure design methods, and gives other relevant information and data. Nippon Steel's technical staff is ready to supply any assistance in designing and engineering for sheet piling structures,TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Part | NIPPON STEEL SHEET PILING §1 TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS 1, U-Type Sections 2.
