Above are dimensions for historical sections of Frodingham sheet piles, Z-sheeting of the profiles 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, and 5. These were later produced by British Steel Piling, at one time a major producer of sheet piling. The British sheet pile industry sponsored the research for Rowe's Moment Reduction Method for the free-end design … Continue reading Historical Frodingham Sheeting Sections
Above are Larssen sections of sheeting, including Larssen 1, 1A, 1A New, 2, 2 New, 3, 3 New, 4 New, 5, 6 and 7. Larssen sheeting was (and still is) very popular in Europe. It also figures very largely in the Soviet development of vibratory drivers and impact-vibration hammers, and appears in both Vibro-Engineering and … Continue reading Historical Larssen Sheeting Sections
Above are dimensions for WS-1, WS-2, WS-3, WS-4, WZ-22 and WZ-27, all from National Steel Corporation. Many engineers are looking for properties of these sheets (such as moment of inertia and section modulus) that Vulcan didn't have much interest in. In the 1970's, the sheet pile manufacturers changed their designations; a conversion chart for some … Continue reading Historical Sheet Pile Sections for National Steel Corporation
Above are some historical flat sheeting profiles, including the following: SP-6A and SP-7A (Bethlehem Steel) I-21 and I-28S (Inland Steel) MP-101 and MP-102 (U.S. Steel) Many engineers are looking for properties of these sheets (such as moment of inertia and section modulus) that Vulcan didn't have much interest in. In the 1970's, the sheet pile … Continue reading Historical Flat Sheet Profiles
In a continuation of our series on historical sheet piling profiles, we feature the following, in the diagram above: I-27 and I-32 (Inland Steel) DP-1 and DP-2 (Bethlehem Steel) MP-110 and MP-116 (U.S. Steel) Many engineers are looking for properties of these sheets (such as moment of inertia and section modulus) that Vulcan didn't have … Continue reading Historical Deep Arch Sheeting Profiles
Above are dimensions for a range of historical shallow arch sheeting, including the following sections: SP-4 and SP-5 (Bethlehem) I-23 and I-28 (Inland Steel) AP-3 and AP-8 (Bethlehem) I-22 and I-31 (Inland Steel) MP-112, MP-113, MP-115 and MP-117 (U.S. Steel) Many engineers are looking for properties of these sheets (such as moment of inertia and … Continue reading Historical Sheet Pile Profiles for Shallow Arch Sheeting
As shown above, from the Vulcan Data Manual; more information is available in the vulcanhammer.info Guide to Pile Driving Equipment. Many engineers are looking for properties of these sheets (such as moment of inertia and section modulus) that Vulcan didn't have much interest in. In the 1970's, the sheet pile manufacturers changed their designations; a … Continue reading Sheet Pile Profiles for ZP-32, ZP-38, MZ-32, MZ-38, MZ-27 and ZP-27 Sheeting
It’s citation time again; this paper, authored by Heeyong Huh, Heedong Goh, Jun Won Kang, Stijn François and Loukas F. Kallivokas, cites both Closed …Comments on “Using the Impulse–Response Pile Data for Soil Characterization”
This is another ad in our series of Vulcan ads from the 1920's, in this case appearing in the 5 December 1929 issue of Engineering News-Record. But this ad is a departure from the others in several respects. It's not clear from the photos or ad copy what kind of hammer this actually is. The … Continue reading Holes had to be punched through concrete for these piles
