Rock Bolts
Excavations in soils with limited thicknesses of soil above the bedrock, or where the excavation level lies below the bedrock level, need additional support at the toe. It is common practice in Nordic countries to support the toe of the sheet piles with rock bolts (also called rock dowels).

AMLoCor®
AMLoCor® is ArcelorMittal’s new ‘low corrosion’ steel grade that will undoubtedly revolutionize the design of port structures. A major concern of designers and port authorities is the durability of marine structures like quay walls, breakwaters, jetties.
Part 1: contains general information about the new steel grade and the design approach with AMLoCor®.
Part 2: contains the steel properties and chemical composition of AMLoCor®, as well as the available sheet pile sections in AMLoCor®. Please check regularly for new updates.

The impervious steel sheet pile wall
ArcelorMittal carried out an extensive research project in collaboration with Delft Geotechnics. The objective of the project was to determine the rate of seepage through the interlocks of steel sheet piles for various joint filler materials, as well as for empty and welded joints.
This document summarizes the results to enable the designer to make a rational assessment of the seepage rate for a specific case. It contains also many details about design and practical aspects for each sealing system.

Underground car parks: Fire resistance
This brochure deals with the design of the fire resistance of steel sheet piles in underground car parks. It considers several design assumptions, such as the influence of the ventilation of the modules, the spreading of the fire from one vehicle to adjacent vehicles, a 'natural' fire curve (in contrast to the quite unfavourable ISO fire curve), the protection of steel against the heat transfer, etc.

Off-centre anchoring of AZ® sheet pile walls
A cost-effective alternative to the standard anchoring system of AZ® sheet pile walls is the 'off-centre anchoring'. Advantage: no need to drill a hole through the interlock any more. The design method was validated by the German Institute DIBt, which issued a German National Technical Approval.
Note that the English and French version of the brochure (see below) are not up-to-date (use it only to check the details about the concept).
