Sheet Pile Design

1. Structural steel design based on "Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Steel 2005".
2. In order to take account of a possible lack of shear force transmission in interlocks, reduction factors in accordance to BS EN 1993-5:2007 are incorporated.

1. Section Properties

Try Section : FSPIII S275 Hot Rolled

Depth of Section D = 125 mm

B B
Width of Section = 400 mm
Web Thickness t = 13 mm

Second Moment of Area (X-Axis) Ix = 1.68E+08 mm4/m

Zx 3
Elastic Modulus (X-Axis) = 1.34E+06 mm /m
Ag 2
Area of Section = 19100 mm /m
Weight w = 150 kg/m2 D

Design Strength py = 275 N/mm2

The Modulus of Elasticity for steel E = 205000 MPa

PLAXIS Input Values

EA/m = (205000 x 1000) x (19100 / 10^6) = 3.916E+06 kN/m
(EI)eff/m = (205000 x 1000) x (168000000 / 10^12) x 1 = 3.444E+04 kNm2/m (NA to BS EN 1993-5:2007, Eqtn 6.1)
w/m = 150 x 9.81 / 1000 = 1.472 kN/m/m

2. Ultimate Design Load

From "Plaxis" results,

Maximum bending moment, Mx = 12 kNm/m
Maximum shear force, V = 21 kN/m
Load Factor = 1.4

Design Bending Moment (Major Axis) Mx = 16.8 kNm/m Design Shear Force V = 29.4 kN/m
Design Bending Moment (Minor Axis) My = 0.0 kNm/m Axial Force Fc = 0.0 kN/m

3. Section Classification (Table 7.1)

e = [275 / py]1/2 = 1.0 b/T = 9.6 < 13.0 e (Semi-compact) (Table 7.1, Outstand element of compression flange)
d/t = 30.8 < 80 e (Plastic) (Table 7.1, Web with neutral axis at mid-depth)

Class of Section = Semi-Compact Section

4. Shear Buckling Resistance (Clause 8.4.6)

d/t = 30.8 < 70e = 70.0

Therefore, Not Required to Check for Shear Buckling

5. Check Shear Capacity (Clause 8.2.1)

2
Shear Area Av = 7313 mm /m
Shear Capacity Vc = pyAv/(3)^0.5
= 1161 kN/m
Design Shear Force V = 29.4 kN/m < Vc = 1161 kN/m Check Shear OK
Since, 0.6Vc = 697 kN/m > V Low Shear

6. Check Moment Capacity (For Semi-Compact Section)

Major Axis Mcx = pyZx

Mcx = 294.8 kNm/m > Mx = 16.8 kNm/m Major Moment Capacity OK

7. Cross-section Capacity Check (Clause 8.9.1)

Fc Mx 0.0 16.8
+ = +
Agpy Mcx 5252.5 294.8
= 0.00 + 0.1
= 0.06
< 1 Cross-section Capacity OK
