  • Patent number: 9636724
    Abstract: A method for rolling a Z-section sheet pile comprises rolling a curved preform of a web (16) in successive roll gaps defined by at least one roll pair comprising a grooved upper roll (26) and a grooved lower roll (28), wherein: a first corner (18) and an adjoining first part of the curved preform of the web (16) are formed in a first groove (42) of an upper roll (26); and a second corner (20) and an adjoining second part of the curved preform of the web (16) are formed in a first groove (46) of a lower roll (28). In the last roll gaps forming the curved preform of the web (16), the diameter of the lower roll (28) decreases in a discontinuous manner in the interval between the first groove (42) in the upper roll (26) and the first groove (46) in the lower roll (26), and the diameter of the upper roll (26) increases in this interval in a complementary manner.

  • Patent number: 8167515
    Abstract: The hot-rolled straight-web steel sheet pile comprises a straight web delimited on each longitudinal side respectively by an interlock strip. The web has a rolled-in taper which is designed in such a way that, in a tensile test of two samples from this sheet pile which are connected by means of their interlock strips, the web is deformed plastically in the region of this taper before a failure of the interlock connection can occur. The rolling of such a sheet pile, which is distinguished in cellular cofferdams by a high plastic deformation capacity, can take place by means of slightly modified standard rolls and consequently requires no major investment.

  • Patent number: 8158272
    Abstract: A steel sheet pile in double-T form includes a web and two flanges, in which each flange has an inner side facing the web, an outer side facing away from the web, and two longitudinal edges, and also coupling means for a connection profile along at least one longitudinal edge of at least one flange. In a first embodiment, the coupling means are formed by a groove which extends in the outer side of at least one flange along at least one longitudinal edge.

  • Patent number: 7549823
    Abstract: The inventive girder (10) for a support wall curtain comprises a core (12) and two parallel wings (14, 16) which are supported by said core and provided with connection means (20). Said wings (14, 16) are reinforced on the largest part of the width thereof on the side opposite to the core (12) by an excessive material thickness which starts only at a certain distance (d1) from the longitudinal edges of the wing, thereby leaving the thinner wing ends (21) carrying said connection means (20) free. The non-reinforced ends (21) of the wings make it possible to use a conventional connection systems (18) in order to integrate such a girder (10) provided with a high resistant module into the support wall curtains.
