U type steel sheet pile, also known as cold-formed steel sheet pile, is a high-strength, high-quality building material that is widely used in foundation projects, water conservancy projects and support structures of structures. It has high load-bearing capacity and good seismic resistance, and is widely recognized as a reliable and economical construction material.
1.Advantages of U type steel sheet pile
(1) Excellent performance and cheap price.
Compared with other concrete piles, U-shaped sheet piles consume relatively less material while maintaining the same width. For example, when manufacturing prefabricated reinforced concrete piles under large-scale use, U-shaped steel sheet piles are more material-saving. At the same time, due to the use of prestressed concrete structures, U-shaped steel sheet pile structures have obvious advantages. In addition, after the design of U-shaped sheet piles is completed, the installation can be reasonably adjusted according to the design requirements and production orders, and has the characteristics of a wide range of geological applications. According to the geological conditions and static pressure, it is easy to control the formation of pile construction quality, which can ensure that the U-shaped piles are well combined and well-proportioned.
(2) Good mechanical performance.
Under the same cross-sectional area conditions as other cross-section piles, the U-shaped steel plate inertia is greatly increased compared to the bending moment of ordinary rectangular steel sheet piles. Therefore, the bending and shear performance is improved and has relatively excellent mechanical properties. At the same time, because ordinary sheet piles cannot meet the space required for larger mud heights and will be restricted by the location of surrounding high-voltage wires or other facilities, piling will be difficult to achieve and may easily cause structural damage.
(3) The construction technology requirements for water conservancy dams are low.
U-shaped sheet piles do not have high requirements for engineering design and construction in various stages of project construction. If the process is not well controlled or does not meet the construction requirements, it is easy to cause damage to the piles. However, due to the U-shaped sheet piles and prestressed pipe piles, the construction technology requirements for the dam are relatively low and easy to construct and implement.
2.Disadvantages of U type steel sheet pile
U type steel sheet pile has the disadvantages of high technical difficulty, high production cost, and inflexible specification series.
3. Precautions for construction of U-shaped steel sheet piles
(1) Geological survey
Before using U-shaped steel sheet piles for foundation construction, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive geological survey to understand the underground soil conditions in order to select the appropriate pile length and diameter.
(2)Construction technology
The construction of U-shaped steel sheet piles mainly includes the processes of digging holes, installing piles, and filling and consolidating soil.
During the construction process, it is necessary to strictly follow the design requirements to ensure the verticality and horizontality of the pile body and the firm connection between piles.
