Practical Notes
Always verify the availability of specific sheet pile sections with local manufacturers before design finalization, as some standard sections may not be in regular production.
While the code standardizes section properties, exact interlock dimensions are indicative; actual interlock strength and shape vary by manufacturer and must be checked for compatibility.
For cellular cofferdams utilizing straight web sections, special attention must be given to the guaranteed interlock strength provided by the manufacturer.
