Hydraulic Resistance of Steel Sheet Pile Joints
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical Engineering
Volume 121, Issue 2
Abstract
Steel sheet pile joints are investigated to determine their permeability behavior. A suitable definition is obtained for the permeability. A testing rig is described and tests on 10 different joint filler materials are reported. The results show significant time-dependent and joint-dependent features. These are explored and conclusions on both water swelling and bituminous materials are noted. A case study gives a design example as well as suggestions on how a safety factor can be implemented.
