Typical section of the rcc sheet pile is shown in figure below.
Frp sheet pile wall.
A frp product consists of fiber reinforcement and a polymer resin matrix.
Suitable joints can be provided to have a continuous wall.
Superwale eliminates the need for timber steel or concrete wale sections.
Traditional pile materials are steel and aluminum.
Frp composite sheet piles are among the strongest and most durable synthetic piling products in the world.
The pile length can be increased either by welding or bolting.
Round octagonal pipes general diameters are from 8 to 14 the length can be 4ft 20ft even 30ft.
The fiber reinforcement typi cally consists of glass reinforcing fibers.
The pultruded frp wale section was specifically designed to replace wood steel and concrete for applications where the environmental considerations require a high strength frp wale section that will not rot rust spall or succumb to marine borers.
These piles are relatively heavy and bulky.
This type of sheet pile is also referred to as fiberglass or composite sheet pile.
Superwale sheet pile retaining wall.
Fiber reinforced polymer sheet piling may also be manufactured of a synthetic fiber reinforced polymer frp.
