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
https://youtube.com/shorts/xU4TGSYS6G8 Vulcan 06 hammer mounted on a Pile Hammer Equipment excavator mast driving pile. The excavator mast, for certain piles and pile hammers, is able to become a pile driving rig, dispensing with the need for a crane or dedicated pile rig. Video courtesy of Pile Hammer Equipment, who manufactures the mast. I would advise … Continue reading Vulcan 06 on a PHE Excavator Mast Driving Sheet Pile

In 1859, a north Lincolnshire landowner named Rowland Winn discovered that under his land lay a valuable commodity. After digging it up, he sold 500 …How Britain lost British Steel
Virtually all sheet pile walls are vertical; thus, it is not necessary to worry about the wall angle when considering lateral earth pressure coefficients for these walls. This means that equations for vertical walls and vertical walls with level backfills are all that is left. First, a complete chart, showing the nomenclature, from NAVFAC DM … Continue reading Coulomb and Rankine Earth Pressure Coefficients for Vertical Walls
Before the advent of CAD, Vulcan used outline, full scale drawings or actual sheeting sections to lay out sheet pile caps in full size. The drawing board(s) in Chattanooga. On the wall are sheet pile sections, cut from actual sheet piling and used to lay out sheet pile caps. In front of the sheet piling … Continue reading Sheet Pile Templates
The development of sheet piling and the Warrington-Vulcan hammers was about the same time (along with concrete piles, other types of steel piles, and the Engineering News Formula.) The years leading up to World War I were ones of rapid development in the marine construction and deep foundation industries, and Vulcan was in the middle … Continue reading Vulcan and Sheet Piling
