[0008] Sheet pile arrangement for a sheet pile wall

[0009] The invention relates to a sheet pile arrangement for a sheet pile wall.

[0010] 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.

[0011] Sheet pile arrangements made of differently designed sheet piles are known, for example, from GB 340,853 A and WO 99 / 11869 A1.

[0012] Sheet piles are typically subjected to high mechanical loads throughout their service life. In particular, they are frequently subjected to high bending and torsional loads. To withstand these loads, high bending and torsional stiffness are required, especially a sufficiently high bending section modulus and a sufficiently high torsional section modulus. High stiffness can be achieved, for example, by using a large material thickness. However, excessive material thickness is disadvantageous because the material requirement and mass are correspondingly high, increasing costs and making the transport and handling of the sheet pile elements more complex. Furthermore, there are often few opportunities to adapt sheet piles to the specific site conditions during installation.For example, it may be necessary to withstand high loads at one point on the sheet pile wall and not to exceed a certain width at another point on the sheet pile wall.

[0013] The invention is therefore based on the objective of providing an improved solution that addresses at least one of the aforementioned problems. In particular, it is an objective of the invention to provide a sheet pile arrangement that allows for adaptation to the local conditions and can withstand potentially particularly high mechanical loads.

[0014] According to a first aspect, the problem is solved by a sheet pile arrangement with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, a sheet pile arrangement for a sheet pile wall is provided, the sheet pile arrangement comprising: a first reinforcing element having a longitudinal extension parallel to a driving direction; a first connecting element having a first end section and a second end section, wherein the first end section of the first connecting element is connected to the first reinforcing element along the longitudinal extension of the first reinforcing element, the first connecting element extending from the first end section to the second end section in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the first reinforcing element along a straight line, the second end section of the first connecting element being designed as a head-shaped strip; and a second connecting element,which has a first end section and a second end section, wherein the first end section of the second connecting element is connected to the first reinforcing element along the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element, wherein the second connecting element extends from the first end section to the second end section in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element along a straight line, wherein the second end section of the second connecting element is formed as a head-shaped strip, wherein the first connecting element and the second connecting element are spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other, wherein the first connecting element and the second connecting element are arranged and formed,to accommodate and securely hold a further head-shaped strip extending parallel to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element between the first connecting element and the second connecting element.

[0015] The term "driving direction" refers specifically to the direction in which a sheet pile wall is driven into the ground, and thus also the components extending along the sheet pile wall, in particular the reinforcing elements, connecting elements, and, where applicable, sheet piles, are driven into the ground, especially by driving the sheet pile wall into the soil. The driving direction is typically perpendicular to the ground surface. Therefore, the driving direction is generally vertical in the installed state. However, there are also driving directions that are not vertical, but run parallel to the horizontal, for example, when sheet pile walls or sheet piles for sheet pile walls are driven into mountains or hills to support a tunnel. The driving direction corresponds in particular to the longitudinal direction of the sheet pile wall.

[0016] Within the scope of this disclosure, the longitudinal extent, direction of longitudinal extent, or longitudinal axis of a reinforcing element or connecting element is understood to mean the extent of the respective object in the driving direction. The longitudinal directions of the reinforcing elements and connecting elements of a sheet pile arrangement are, in particular, parallel to each other.

[0017] A sheet pile extension direction is understood to be, in particular, a direction in which the sheet pile or a section of the sheet pile extends transversely to its longitudinal extent. The sheet pile extension direction is thus orthogonal to the driving direction.

[0018] A reinforcement element is understood to be, in particular, a steel component that can be driven into the ground. Preferably, the first reinforcement element is tubular. The first reinforcement element of the sheet pile assembly preferably has a diameter of at least 300 mm and / or at most 1500 mm. Preferably, all reinforcement elements of the sheet pile assembly have the same diameter.

[0019] A head-shaped strip, also known as a headboard, is specifically a strip whose cross-section is circular, oval, or similar to a circle or oval. The cross-sectional shape can be, for example, circular or oval, or even slightly different with a rounded shape.

[0020] It is particularly preferred that the first reinforcing element comprises or consists of steel. The first connecting element and the second connecting element are aligned parallel to each other. The first connecting element preferably has a longitudinal extension parallel to the driving direction. The second connecting element preferably has a longitudinal extension parallel to the driving direction.

[0021] Preferably, the first end section of the first connecting element extends along its longitudinal extent. Preferably, the first end section of the first connecting element is connected to the first reinforcing element by means of a weld. Preferably, the first connecting element extends along a plane, so that the first connecting element is preferably not curved but plate-shaped.

[0022] Preferably, the first end section and the second end section of the first connecting element are integral components of the first connecting element. Preferably, the first connecting element is a hot-rolled steel component.

[0023] Preferably, the first end section of the second connecting element extends along its longitudinal extent. Preferably, the first end section of the second connecting element is connected to the first reinforcing element by means of a weld. Preferably, the second connecting element extends along a plane, so that the second connecting element is preferably not curved, but rather flat, i.e., plate-shaped.

[0024] Preferably, the first end section and the second end section of the second connecting element are integral components of the second connecting element. Preferably, the second connecting element is a hot-rolled steel component.

[0025] Preferably, the first connecting element and the second connecting element extend along two planes arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other.

[0026] The second end section of the first connecting element is designed as a head-shaped strip, the head-shaped strip preferably extending along the longitudinal extent of the first connecting element. The second end section of the second connecting element is designed as a head-shaped strip, the head-shaped strip preferably extending along the longitudinal extent of the second connecting element.

[0027] The head-shaped strip of the first connecting element and the head-shaped strip of the second connecting element preferably extend parallel to each other.

[0028] The first and second connecting elements are arranged and configured to receive a further head-shaped strip running parallel to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element between the first and second connecting elements and to hold this further head-shaped strip in a form-fitting manner, in particular in such a way that the further head-shaped strip cannot be moved outwards in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element between the first and second connecting elements. However, it may be possible for the further head-shaped strip to be movable within the area between the first and second connecting elements relative to the first and second connecting elements, in particular in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element.

[0029] One advantage of such a sheet pile arrangement is that the connecting elements can be manufactured particularly easily and only one type of connecting element is needed to connect adjacent reinforcement elements, so that the entire sheet pile arrangement can be made from only two different components, namely the reinforcement element and the connecting element.

[0030] Another advantage is that all components of such a sheet pile arrangement can be driven into the ground particularly easily because there are no claw-shaped connecting sections that could collide with stones and other objects in the ground, making driving and joining more difficult. Head-shaped piles, on the other hand, can be driven into the ground particularly easily and with less effort and energy.

[0031] A further advantage is that a particularly high torsional and bending stiffness of the sheet pile arrangement can be achieved. Another advantage is that a higher connection strength can be achieved using two such adjacent, head-shaped strips than with a conventional head-claw type connection. This is possible because the first and second connecting elements can be made of any desired thickness and can each be connected to the first reinforcing element on both sides, i.e., along two connection lines, particularly weld lines, especially with welded joints along these connection lines.

[0032] Another advantage is that such a sheet pile arrangement can be designed in such a way that the additional headboard can be arranged in different positions within the first connecting element and the second connecting element, thereby achieving a particularly high degree of flexibility and adaptability to the local conditions.

[0033] It is particularly preferred that the sheet pile arrangement comprises a further head-shaped strip extending parallel to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element, wherein the further head-shaped strip is arranged between the first connecting element and the second connecting element, wherein the further head-shaped strip is held in a form-fitting manner between the first connecting element and the second connecting element.

[0034] Preferably, the further head-shaped strip is held between the first connecting element and the second connecting element in such a way that the further head-shaped strip cannot be moved out of the area between the first connecting element and the second connecting element in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the first reinforcing element.

[0035] Preferably, the distance between the second end section of the first connecting element and the second end section of the second connecting element is smaller than the extension of the further head-shaped strip in the direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the reinforcing element and transverse to the lateral extension direction of the first connecting element. This advantageously prevents the further head-shaped strip from moving between the first and second end sections, thus ensuring that the further head-shaped strip is securely held between the first and second connecting elements. Preferably, the further head-shaped strip is a component of a connecting element; more preferably, the further head-shaped strip is formed by a second end section of a connecting element.However, the head-shaped strip can also be designed as the end section of a sheet pile, in particular a Z-shaped sheet pile.

[0036] It is particularly preferred that a plate is arranged between the first connecting element and the second connecting element, which is connected to the first connecting element and the second connecting element, so that a grouting area is formed between the plate and the first reinforcing element, into which grouting material can be poured.

Preferably, the first end section and the second end section of the third connecting element are integral components of the third connecting element. Preferably, the third connecting element is a hot-rolled steel component.

[0041] The third connecting element is preferably aligned parallel to the first and second connecting elements. The third connecting element preferably has a longitudinal extension parallel to the driving direction.

[0042] Preferably, the first end section of the third connecting element extends along its longitudinal extent. Preferably, the first end section of the third connecting element is connected to the second reinforcing element by means of a weld. Preferably, the third connecting element extends along a plane, so that the third connecting element is preferably not curved but plate-shaped.

[0043] The second end section of the third connecting element is designed as a head-shaped strip, the head-shaped strip preferably extending along the longitudinal extent of the third connecting element.

[0044] It is particularly preferred that the second end section of the third connecting element is the further head-shaped strip.

[0114] Fig. 2b shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a sheet pile arrangement 1, which is designed as in Fig. 2a, but in contrast to Fig. 2a a plate 99 is arranged between the first connecting element 11 and the second connecting element 12, which is connected to the first connecting element 11 and the second connecting element 12, so that a grouting area is formed between the plate 99 and the first reinforcing element 10.

[0115] Fig. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a sheet pile assembly 1 arranged along a sheet pile wall extension direction S for a sheet pile wall. The sheet pile assembly 1 comprises a reinforcing element 10 and three connecting elements 11, 12, 14. The sheet pile assembly 1 shown in Fig. 3 is designed like the sheet pile assembly shown in Fig. 1, with the difference that the extensions of the connecting elements transverse to the longitudinal extension are smaller than in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and also smaller than in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2a. For the construction of this sheet pile assembly 1, reference is therefore made to the description of Fig. 1.

[0116] Fig. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a sheet pile arrangement 1 for a sheet pile wall with two reinforcing elements 10, 20, each of which is connected to three connecting elements 11, 12, 14, 13, 15, 16. The first reinforcing element 10 and the connecting elements 11, 12, 14 connected to the first reinforcing element 10, namely the first connecting element 11, the second connecting element 12, and the further connecting element 14, are designed as described in connection with Fig. 1. For details, reference is therefore made to the description of Fig. 1. The second reinforcing element 20 extends along a longitudinal dimension L2, which is arranged parallel to the longitudinal dimension L1 of the first reinforcing element 10. The second reinforcing element 20, like the first reinforcing element 10, is tubular and has an annular cross-section.The second reinforcing element 20 also has the same diameter as the first reinforcing element 10 and, like the first reinforcing element and the connecting elements, is made of steel. The sheet pile assembly 1 includes a fifth connecting element 15, which has a first end section and a second end section, wherein the first end section of the fifth connecting element 15 is connected to the second reinforcing element 20 along its longitudinal extent L2. The fifth connecting element 15 extends from the first end section along a central section to the second end section in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent L2 of the second reinforcing element 20 along a straight line G5. The second end section of the fifth connecting element 15 is designed as the head-shaped strip.The sheet pile arrangement 1 comprises a sixth connecting element 16, which has a first end section and a second end section, wherein the first end section of the sixth connecting element 16 is connected to the second reinforcing element 20 along its longitudinal extent L2. The sixth connecting element 16 extends from the first end section along a central section to the second end section in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extent L2 of the second reinforcing element 20 along a straight line G6. The second end section of the sixth connecting element 16 is designed as the head-shaped strip.The fifth connecting element 15 and the sixth connecting element 16 are arranged and designed to receive and hold in a form-fitting manner a head-shaped strip (not shown here) extending parallel to the longitudinal extent L2 of the second reinforcing element 20 between the fifth connecting element 15 and the sixth connecting element 16.

[0117] Fig. 5 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a sheet pile arrangement for a sheet pile wall with five reinforcing elements 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, each of which is connected to three connecting elements. The first reinforcing element 10 and the second reinforcing element 20, as well as the connecting elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 connected to them, are designed as described in connection with Fig. 4. Reference is therefore made to the descriptions of Fig. 4 and Fig. 1. Each of the reinforcing elements 30, 40, 50 is designed like the first reinforcing element 10 or the second reinforcing element 20. The reinforcing elements 30, 40, 50 extend along their longitudinal dimensions L3, L4, L5, which run parallel to the longitudinal dimensions L1 and L2.The reinforcing elements 30, 40, 50 are connected to connecting elements 17, 18, 19, 114, 111, 112, 113, 115, 116, which are arranged and connected to the respective reinforcing elements analogously to the connecting elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

[0118] Fig. 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of three connecting elements 11, each with different widths A. The connecting elements 11 each extend from their first end section 11a along their middle section 11c to their second end section 11b, which is designed as a head-shaped strip. Fig. 7 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of three double connecting elements, each with different double widths 2xA. The connecting elements 11 each extend from their first end section 11a along their middle section 11c to their second end section 11b, which is designed as a head-shaped strip. The double connecting elements are cut along lines B, so that each of the double connecting elements becomes two connecting elements 11, which can be configured as shown in Fig. 6.Such a double connecting element is therefore particularly advantageous because it is easier and cheaper to manufacture due to the symmetry of the component.

[0119] Fig. 8a shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a first possible assembly position of a sheet pile arrangement 1 for a sheet pile wall with two reinforcing elements 10, 20, which are connected to each other by means of the connecting elements 11, 12, 13 arranged thereon.

As can be seen when comparing Fig. 8a and Fig. 8b, it is possible to arrange the first reinforcing element 10 and the second reinforcing element 20 at different distances from each other. This allows for a high degree of flexibility in the installation of the reinforcing elements and thus in the installation of the sheet pile arrangement. This is made possible by the fact that the further head-shaped strip of the third connecting element 13 can be arranged in different positions between the first connecting element 11 and the second connecting element 12.

[0121] Fig. 9 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a first possible assembly position (left) and a second possible assembly position (right) of a sheet pile arrangement 1 for a sheet pile wall with three reinforcing elements 10, 20, 30, which are connected to each other by means of the connecting elements 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 arranged thereon. As can be seen when comparing the two assembly positions, it is possible to arrange the first reinforcing element 10, the second reinforcing element 20 and the third reinforcing element 30 at different distances from each other. This allows for a high degree of flexibility in the installation of the reinforcing elements 10, 20, 30 and thus in the installation of the sheet pile arrangement 1.This is made possible by the fact that the further head-shaped strip of the third connecting element 13 can be arranged in different positions between the first connecting element 11 and the second connecting element 12, and that the head-shaped strip of the connecting element 17 can be arranged in different positions between the connecting element 15 and the connecting element 16.

[0131] Fig. 18 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a sheet pile arrangement 1 with two reinforcing elements 10, 20, between which two Z-shaped sheet piles 70, 80 are arranged. In contrast to the assembly shown in Fig. 17, the connecting elements 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 are partially located on the top or bottom surface of the respective flanges of the reinforcing elements 10, 20, thus achieving a larger contact area between the connecting elements and the reinforcing elements, resulting in a stronger and stiffer connection.

[0132] Fig. 19 shows a schematic side view of an embodiment of a reinforcement element 10, which is designed as an O-shaped sheet pile. Connecting elements 308, 310 are arranged on both sides of the reinforcement element. The reinforcement element 10 has a sacrificial ring 323. The sacrificial ring 323 is supported by a front end 327 of the reinforcement element 10, which is located at the front in the driving direction E of the reinforcement element 10. In the example shown here, the outer diameter 329 of the sacrificial ring 323 is larger than the maximum outer diameter 333 of the reinforcing element, including the connecting elements 308 and 310. The outer diameter 333 is defined by the distance between the outermost radial ends of the connecting elements 308 and 310. In fact, in the embodiment shown in Figure 19, the outer diameter 329 of the sacrificial ring 323 is approximately 5 to 15 mm larger than the outer diameter 333.

[0133] Fig. 20 shows a section of a connection between two reinforcing elements 10 and 20 known from the prior art. A claw-shaped connecting element 211 is arranged on one of the reinforcing elements 10. A head-shaped connecting element 213 is arranged on the other of the reinforcing elements 20. The connecting elements 211 and 213 form a head-claw type connection. A sacrificial ring 329 is arranged on both the reinforcing element 10 and the reinforcing element 20, which serves to insert the reinforcing element into the ground. The sacrificial rings 323 have outer diameters R1 and R2. The sacrificial rings 323 each have a radius that is larger by the distance D1 and D2 of 30 mm each than the respective radius of the reinforcing elements 10 and 20. The extension of the connecting element 213 transverse to the driving direction E, which is 29 mm in the example shown here, is minimally smaller than the radius of the sacrificial ring 323.Due to this construction, the reinforcing elements 10, 20 are spaced apart from each other by a distance A1 of 64 mm.

[0134] Fig. 21 shows a section of a connection between two reinforcing elements 10 and 20. A first connecting element 11 with a head-shaped strip and a second connecting element 12 with a head-shaped strip are arranged on one of the reinforcing elements 10. A connecting element 13 with a head-shaped strip is also arranged on the other reinforcing element 20. The connecting elements 11, 12, and 13 form a connection as described in detail above. A sacrificial ring 329 is arranged on both the first reinforcing element 10 and the second reinforcing element 20, serving to insert the respective reinforcing element 10 and 20 into the ground. The sacrificial rings 329 have outer diameters R1 and R2. The radius of each sacrificial ring 329 is larger by the distance D1 and D2, each 15.9 mm, than the respective radius of the reinforcing elements 10 and 20.The extension of the connecting element 11, 12, 13 transversely to the driving direction E, which in the embodiment shown here is 28.2 mm each, is greater than the radius of the sacrificial ring 323. Due to this design, the reinforcing elements 10, 20 are spaced apart from each other by a distance A1 of only 32.9 mm. As can be seen from a comparison between Figures 20 and 21, when using three connecting elements with a claw-shaped strip, as shown in Figure 21, a significantly smaller outer diameter R2 of the sacrificial ring 323 can be used. This advantageously reduces the required driving energy, and the reinforcing elements 10, 20 can be driven in with less force and thus less energy.
