[0001] Sheet pile arrangement for a sheet pile wall
[0002] The invention relates to a sheet pile assembly for a sheet pile wall. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sheet pile section for a sheet pile wall. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of such a sheet pile assembly and / or such a sheet pile section. Sheet piles and sheet pile walls made of sheet piles are generally known from the prior art, for example, from DE 20 2016 101 909 U1.
[0003] A problem with conventional sheet piles and sheet pile walls is that the sheet piles and other elements required for a sheet pile wall often have to be transported long distances to the site. Transportation typically requires a lot of space, which can make transporting the materials required for the sheet pile wall logistically complex and result in high costs.
[0004] Another problem with conventional sheet piles and sheet piling is that during installation on site, even small deviations in the positioning of the sheet piling elements from a target position or small deviations in the dimensions of the elements required for the sheet piling from the target dimensions can be problematic, since in such cases a high level of labor is regularly required and additional material is needed.
[0005] A further problem with known sheet piles and sheet pile walls is that when a sheet pile wall is installed on site, adjustments that would be necessary or desirable due to the specific local conditions, for example an adjustment of the dimensions of the elements used for the sheet pile wall, are not possible or only possible with great effort.
[0006] The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved solution that addresses the aforementioned problems. In particular, the object of the invention is to provide a solution that enables greater flexibility and more variation options in the installation of sheet pile walls, while also facilitating the transport of the elements required for the sheet pile wall.
[0007] According to a first aspect, the object is achieved by a sheet pile assembly according to claim 1. According to this, a sheet pile assembly for a sheet pile wall is provided, wherein the sheet pile assembly comprises: a first sheet pile having a longitudinal extension running parallel to a driving direction, wherein the first sheet pile extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension and parallel to a sheet pile wall extension direction from a first connecting section of the first sheet pile along a central section of the first sheet pile to a second connecting section of the first sheet pile, a connecting element which is connected to the central section of the first sheet pile, in particular by a material bond, and extends along the central section of the first sheet pile in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension, wherein the connecting element has a connecting section of the connecting element, and a reinforcing structure,comprising a reinforcing element extending parallel to the longitudinal extent, wherein the reinforcing element extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent and orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction from a first end with a first connecting portion of the reinforcing element along a central portion of the reinforcing element to a second end with a second connecting portion of the reinforcing element, wherein the first connecting portion of the reinforcing element is connected to the connecting portion of the connecting element, preferably in a form-fitting manner. A driving direction is to be understood in particular as the direction in which a sheet pile wall, and thus also the components extending along a sheet pile wall, are introduced into the subsoil.In particular, by driving the sheet pile wall into the ground. The driving direction is usually perpendicular to the ground surface. Therefore, the driving direction is usually vertical when installed. However, there are also driving directions that run parallel to the horizontal, for example, when sheet pile walls or sheet pile assemblies for sheet pile walls are driven into mountains or hills, for example, to support a tunnel. The driving direction corresponds in particular to the longitudinal direction of the sheet pile wall.
[0008] In the context of the present disclosure, a longitudinal extension or a longitudinal extension direction of a sheet pile or a connecting element or a sheet pile arrangement is understood to mean the extension of the respective object in the driving direction or parallel to the driving direction.
[0009] A sheet pile wall extension direction is understood to mean, in particular, a direction in which the sheet pile wall or a section of the sheet pile wall extends transversely to the longitudinal extension. The sheet pile wall extension direction thus extends orthogonally to the driving direction.
[0010] Within the scope of the present disclosure, it is preferred if the cross-section of the first sheet pile, the cross-section of the connecting element, and the cross-section of the reinforcing structure are each substantially constant along the longitudinal extent or longitudinal direction. In particular, it is preferred if all elements of the sheet pile arrangement have a cross-section that is substantially constant along the longitudinal extent or longitudinal direction.
[0011] It is preferred that the first sheet pile, the connecting element, and the reinforcing structure each comprise or consist of steel. In particular, it is preferred that all elements of the sheet pile assembly comprise or consist of steel.
[0012] The first sheet pile can in particular form a partial section of a sheet pile wall.
[0013] The reinforcing structure serves, in particular, to mechanically reinforce the sheet pile assembly. The first connecting portion of the reinforcing element is preferably welded to the connecting portion of the connecting element. A sealant is preferably introduced into the connection, which, in particular, makes it possible to provide a watertight connection.
[0014] Preferably, the first connecting portion of the reinforcing element is arranged in the connecting portion of the connecting element or the connecting portion of the connecting element is arranged in the first connecting portion of the reinforcing element.
[0015] A primary advantage is that with this type of sheet pile arrangement, an entire sheet pile wall can be constructed using only sheet piles, connecting elements, and, if necessary, plates. These elements can be assembled or connected together on site. This provides increased flexibility when installing a sheet pile wall.
[0016] A further advantage is that the elements of the sheet pile arrangement can be used flexibly and, by means of the connecting sections, deviations from the target positions and deviations from the target dimensions of the elements of a sheet pile wall to be installed can be compensated.
[0017] A further advantage is that the space required for transporting the elements of the sheet pile arrangement, especially the space required for transporting the elements of the reinforcement structure, is relatively small, since these elements can generally be stacked better than, for example, double T-beams or O-beams.
[0018] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the reinforcing element is designed as a second sheet pile or in a plate-like configuration. Configuring the reinforcing element as a second sheet pile has the advantage that only sheet piles and connecting elements are used to construct the sheet pile arrangement. Configuring the reinforcing element as a plate has the advantage that the length of the plate can be chosen as desired, and the production of plates is simple and cost-effective.
[0019] It is particularly preferred that the reinforcing structure comprises a third sheet pile which extends parallel to the longitudinal extent at a distance from the first sheet pile, wherein the third sheet pile extends in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extent parallel to the sheet pile wall extension direction from a first connecting section of the third sheet pile along a middle section of the third sheet pile to a second connecting section of the third sheet pile.
[0020] Preferably, the third sheet pile is aligned parallel to the first sheet pile. In particular, the third sheet pile extends parallel to the first sheet pile. The first sheet pile and the third sheet pile preferably have the same length in the direction of the sheet pile wall extension.
[0021] Preferably, the first sheet pile, the second sheet pile and the third sheet pile, together with the connecting elements provided for connecting the sheet piles, form a double-T beam.

[0023] The connecting element arranged on the first sheet pile can also be referred to as the first connecting element to distinguish it from the other connecting element.
[0024] Preferably, the further connecting element is welded to the middle section of the third sheet pile.
[0025] It is particularly preferred that the second connecting portion of the reinforcing element is connected to the connecting portion of the further connecting element, preferably in a form-fitting manner, wherein the connection between the second connecting portion of the reinforcing element and the connecting portion of the further connecting element is preferably a head-claw type connection.
[0026] A head-and-claw connection is understood in particular to mean a connection for connecting the reinforcing element to the connecting section of a connecting element, or for connecting a sheet pile to a sheet pile, or for connecting a sheet pile to a connecting element, or for connecting a connecting element to a sheet pile. Such connections are known in English as "ball-and-socket" connections. Such "ball-and-socket" connections are characterized by the fact that a claw (socket) as the female connection profile is engaged with a head (ball) as the male connection profile in order to connect two sheet piles or a sheet pile to a connecting element.
[0027] It is particularly preferred that the connection between the first connecting portion of the reinforcing member and the connecting portion of the connecting member is a head-claw type connection.
[0028] It is particularly preferred that the reinforcing structure comprises a fourth sheet pile extending parallel to the longitudinal extent, wherein the fourth sheet pile extends in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extent orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction from a first connecting section of the fourth sheet pile along a middle section of the fourth sheet pile to a second connecting section of the fourth sheet pile.
[0029] The reinforcement structure can also comprise additional sheet piles and / or additional elements. The reinforcement structure can, in particular, comprise several interconnected sheet piles aligned in one plane. This allows the extension of the reinforcement element orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction to be varied in a particularly advantageous manner by using a different number of sheet piles. The extension of the reinforcement element orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction can thus be flexibly adapted to the on-site requirements.
[0030] It is particularly preferred that the first connecting portion of the fourth sheet pile is connected to the second connecting portion of the reinforcing element, in particular in a form-fitting manner, wherein preferably the connection between the second connecting portion of the reinforcing element and the first connecting portion of the fourth sheet pile is a head-claw type connection.
[0031] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the second connecting section of the fourth sheet pile is connected to the connecting section of the further connecting element, in particular in a form-fitting manner, wherein preferably the connection between the second connecting section of the fourth sheet pile and the connecting section of the further connecting element is a head-claw type connection.
[0032] It is particularly preferred that the connecting portion of the connecting element has a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent, wherein the reinforcing element is plate-shaped and the first connecting portion of the reinforcing element is formed as a plate end portion, wherein this plate end portion is arranged in the connecting portion of the connecting element.
[0033] Such a plate-shaped reinforcing element is understood, in particular, to be a reinforcing element with a substantially rectangular, and in particular elongated, cross-section. A plate end section is understood, in particular, to be the section of the plate-shaped reinforcing element that extends parallel to the longitudinal extension in the region of the plate edge.
[0034] Preferably, a sealing means and / or a pressing means is arranged in the connecting portion of the connecting element so that a fluid-tight connection is provided between the plate end portion and the connecting portion of the connecting element.
[0035] It is particularly preferred that the first sheet pile, the connecting element, and the reinforcing structure form a cross-section of a double-T beam transverse to the longitudinal extension. This allows a double-T beam to be assembled from individual elements in a particularly advantageous manner, without the need for transporting and erecting a single-piece double-T beam.
[0036] It is particularly preferred that the sheet pile arrangement consists of several sheet piles and several connecting elements.
[0037] It is particularly preferred that the central section of the first sheet pile is straight transversely to the direction of the longitudinal extension. Such a straight design means, in particular, that the first sheet pile is not curved and / or extends along its entire width parallel to the sheet pile wall extension direction. Preferably, the central section of the reinforcing element is straight transversely to the direction of the longitudinal extension. Such a straight design means, in particular, that the reinforcing element is not curved and / or extends along its entire width orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction.
[0038] Preferably, the middle section of the third sheet pile is straight transversely to the direction of the longitudinal extension. Such a straight design means, in particular, that the third sheet pile is not curved and / or extends along its entire width parallel to the direction of the sheet pile wall extension.
[0039] Preferably, the central section of the fourth sheet pile is straight transversely to the direction of the longitudinal extension. Such a straight design means, in particular, that the fourth sheet pile is not curved and / or extends orthogonally to the sheet pile wall extension direction along its entire width.
[0040] It is particularly preferred that the central section of the first sheet pile be substantially U-shaped transversely to the direction of the longitudinal extension. A substantially U-shaped configuration is understood, in particular, to mean a U-shaped sheet pile.
[0041] Preferably, the middle section of the third sheet pile is substantially U-shaped transversely to the direction of the longitudinal extension. A substantially U-shaped configuration is understood, in particular, to mean a U-shaped sheet pile.
[0042] Preferably, the first sheet pile is designed as a U-shaped sheet pile, and the third sheet pile is designed as a U-shaped sheet pile. Preferably, the U-shaped sheet piles are arranged so that the ends of these sheet piles face each other.
[0043] It is particularly preferred that the connection between the first connecting portion of the reinforcing element and the connecting portion of the connecting element is a head-claw type connection.
[0044] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that of the first connecting portion of the reinforcing element and the connecting portion of the connecting element, one of these connecting portions has a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent and the other of these connecting portions has a male connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent.
[0045] Thus, the first connecting section of the reinforcing element can have a male connecting profile and the connecting section of the connecting element can have a female connecting profile, or the first connecting section of the reinforcing element can have a female connecting profile and the connecting section of the connecting element can have a male connecting profile.
[0046] Preferably, the connecting profile has a substantially constant cross-section along its longitudinal extent.
[0047] It is particularly preferred that the connection between the second connecting portion of the reinforcing element and the connecting portion of the further connecting element is a head-claw type connection.
[0048] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the connection between the second connecting portion of the reinforcing element and the first connecting portion of the fourth sheet pile is a head-claw type connection.

[0050] A Z-shaped sheet pile is understood in particular to mean a sheet pile which has two end sections arranged parallel to one another and parallel to the sheet pile wall extension direction and a middle section arranged obliquely to these end sections and obliquely to the sheet pile wall extension direction between these end sections.
[0051] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the second connecting section of the first sheet pile is connected to a first connecting section of a further sheet pile, in particular in a form-fitting manner, wherein preferably the connection between the second connecting section of the first sheet pile and the first connecting section of the further sheet pile is a head-claw type connection, wherein preferably the further sheet pile is a Z-shaped sheet pile.

[0077] Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a sheet pile assembly 1 for a sheet pile wall. The sheet pile assembly comprises a first sheet pile 10, which has a longitudinal extension running parallel to a driving direction E. The first sheet pile 10 extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension L and parallel to a sheet pile wall extension direction S from a first connecting section 11 of the first sheet pile 10 along a central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10 to a second connecting section 12 of the first sheet pile 10.
[0078] A connecting element 90 is arranged centrally on the central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10. It is welded to the central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10 and extends along the central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension. The connecting element 90 has a connecting section 91, which has a male connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extension.
[0079] Furthermore, a reinforcing structure V is provided, which comprises a reinforcing element 20 in the form of a second sheet pile 20. The second sheet pile 20 extends parallel to the longitudinal extent. The second sheet pile 20 extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent L and orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction S from a first end with a first connecting section 21 of the second sheet pile 20 along a central section 25 of the second sheet pile 20 to a second end with a second connecting section 22 of the second sheet pile 20.
[0080] The first connecting section 21 of the second sheet pile 20 is positively connected to the connecting section 91 of the connecting element 90. The positive connection is formed by a head-claw type connection. The first connecting section 21 of the second sheet pile 20 has a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extension. The female connecting profile of the first connecting section 21 of the second sheet pile 20 engages around the male connecting profile of the connecting section 91 of the connecting element 90, thus forming a positive connection.
[0081] The second sheet pile 20 also has a second connecting section 22, which is connected here to a further connecting element 80, which is attached to a third sheet pile 30, which is arranged parallel to and spaced from the first sheet pile 10. The second connecting section 22 has a male connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent, while the connecting section 81 of the further connecting element 80 has a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent. Thus, a positive-locking head-claw type connection is formed between the second connecting section 22 of the second sheet pile 20 and the connecting section 81 of the further connecting element 80.The third sheet pile 30 also has a first connecting section 31 and a second connecting section 32 as well as a middle section 35 which is arranged between the first connecting section 31 and the second connecting section 32.
[0082] Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the sheet pile arrangement 1 shown in Fig. 1. In Fig. 2, the longitudinal extension L mentioned in Fig. 1 is shown.
[0083] Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of sheet pile assemblies 1 arranged side by side, which, together with other components, form a sheet pile wall section 3. The sheet pile assemblies 1 shown in Fig. 3 are designed similarly to the sheet pile assembly shown in Fig. 1. However, the sheet pile assemblies shown here in Fig. 3 have the following special features: The first connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 of the first sheet pile 10 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent. The first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 of the second sheet pile 20 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent.And the first connecting section 31 and the second connecting section 32 of the third sheet pile 30 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extension. Thus, in this embodiment, all sheet piles 10, 20, 30 have only female connecting profiles. Accordingly, the connecting element 90 and the further connecting element 80 each have a male connecting profile.
[0084] Between the sheet pile assemblies 1, two Z-shaped sheet piles 50, 60 are arranged, which are connected to a connecting part 70 with two head-shaped sections by means of the connecting sections 52, 61. The sheet piles 50 and 60, together with the connecting part 70, form an intermediate structure 2. The sheet piles 50, 60 each have a first connecting section 51, 61 and a second connecting section 52, 62, and a central section 55, 65 arranged therebetween.
[0085] Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the sheet pile arrangements 1 shown in Fig. 3.
[0086] Fig. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of a sheet pile assemblies 1 arranged side by side. The sheet pile assemblies 1 shown in Fig. 5 are designed like the sheet pile assembly shown in Fig. 1. An intermediate structure 2 is arranged between the sheet pile assemblies 1. The intermediate structure 2 comprises two sheet piles 50, 60, which are connected to one another and, together with the first sheet piles 10 of the sheet pile assemblies 1, form a closed sheet pile wall section 3.

These components are designed as described in Fig. 1. However, in contrast to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a fourth sheet pile is provided here, which is arranged between the second sheet pile 20 and the further connecting element 80. The fourth sheet pile has a first connecting section 41, a second connecting section 42 and a middle section 45 arranged therebetween. The first connecting section 41 of the fourth sheet pile 40 forms a head-claw type connection with the second connecting section 22 of the second sheet pile 20.And the second connecting portion 42 of the fourth sheet pile 40 forms a head-claw type connection with the connecting portion 81 of the further connecting element 80.
[0089] Fig. 8 shows a perspective view of the sheet pile arrangements shown in Fig. 7.
[0090] Fig. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of sheet pile assemblies 1 arranged side by side. The sheet pile assemblies 1 are designed as described in Fig. 7. Between the sheet pile assemblies 1, an intermediate structure 2 is arranged, which comprises two sheet piles 50, 60, which are connected to each other and together with the first sheet piles 10 of the
[0091] Sheet pile arrangements 1 form a closed sheet pile section 3.
[0092] Fig. 10 shows a perspective view of the device shown in Fig. 9
[0093] Sheet pile arrangements 1.
[0094] Fig. 11 shows a cross-sectional view of sheet pile assemblies 1 arranged side by side, which, together with other components, form a sheet pile wall section 3. The sheet pile assemblies 1 shown in Fig. 11 are designed similarly to the sheet pile assembly shown in Fig. 9. However, the sheet pile assemblies shown here in Fig. 11 have the following special features: The first connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 of the first sheet pile 10 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent. The first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 of the second sheet pile 20 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extent.The first connecting section 31 and the second connecting section 32 of the third sheet pile 30 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extension. And the first connecting section 41 and the second connecting section 42 of the fourth sheet pile 40 each have a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extension. Thus, in this embodiment, all sheet piles 10, 20, 30, and 40 have only female connecting profiles. Accordingly, the connecting element 90 and the further connecting element 80 each have a male connecting profile.
[0095] Between the sheet pile assemblies 1, two Z-shaped sheet piles 50, 60 are arranged, which are connected to a connecting part 70 with two head-shaped sections by means of the connecting sections 52, 61. The sheet piles 50 and 60, together with the connecting part 70, form an intermediate structure 2. The sheet piles 50, 60 each have a first connecting section 51, 61 and a second connecting section 52, 62, and a central section 55, 65 arranged therebetween.
[0096] Fig. 12 shows a perspective view of the sheet pile arrangements 1 shown in Fig. 11.
[0097] Fig. 13 shows a cross-sectional view of a sheet pile assembly 1 for a sheet pile wall. The sheet pile assembly 1 comprises a first sheet pile 10, which is designed as a U-shaped sheet pile and has a longitudinal extension running parallel to a driving direction E. The first sheet pile 10 extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension and parallel to a sheet pile wall extension direction S from a first connecting section 11 of the first sheet pile 10 along a central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10 to a second connecting section 12 of the first sheet pile 10.
[0098] A connecting element 90 is arranged centrally on the central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10. The connecting element 90 is welded to the central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10 and extends along the central section 15 of the first sheet pile 10 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension. The connecting element 90 has a connecting section 91 having a female connecting profile with a substantially constant cross-section parallel to the longitudinal extension.
[0099] Furthermore, a reinforcement structure V is provided, which comprises a reinforcement element 20' in the form of a plate 20'. The plate 20' extends parallel to the longitudinal extent. The plate 20' extends in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent L and orthogonal to the sheet pile wall extension direction S from a first end with a first connecting portion 21' of the plate 20' along a central portion 25' of the plate 20' to a second end with a second connecting portion 22' of the plate 20'.
[0100] The first connecting section 21' of the plate 20' is connected to the connecting section 91 of the connecting element 90. The connection is formed by arranging the plate end section 21' in the connecting section 91 of the connecting element 90. The first connecting section 21' of the plate 20' has neither a male nor a female connecting profile for a head-claw connection. Rather, the connecting section 21' of the plate 20' is formed by the end section of the plate 20'.
[0101] The plate 20' also has a second connecting section 22', which is connected here to a further connecting element 80, which is arranged on a third sheet pile 30, which is arranged parallel to and spaced from the first sheet pile 10.
