ProfilARBED's partner in the research field "watertightness of steel sheet pile walls" is DELFT GEOTECHNICS: www.deltares.nl
In the framework of a European research project, sponsored by ECSC, the GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY (http://dutcgeo.ct.tudelft.nl/) of DELFT UNIVERSITY was involved in the determination of the rotation demand of steel sheet pile retaining walls at ultimate limit state. The results of this research project are the background to EUROCODE 3, PART 5: PILING.

Design Software GGU-Retain for sheet pile walls
GGU-Retain allows the dimensioning of sheet pile walls.
The program offers comfortable data input with permanent presentation of the system on the screen. Every change of data is shown on the screen, so that optimum control of input data is given. The many means of graphic presentation, to a high standard of quality, make it possible for you to show your calculation results exactly as you wish to.
The basis is the "Recommendations of the Working Group for Construction Pits" ("Empfehlungen des Arbeitskreises Baugruben") (EAB). Almost all of the suggestions contained therein are taken into consideration. In particular, with a given system, the program will look up, if desired, the earth pressure redistribution suggested in the EAB.

Founded in 2003, the North American Steel Sheet Piling Association (NASSPA) is dedicated to the promotion of hot-rolled steel sheet piling. The Association is dedicated to providing information and guidelines on a broad range of technical, research, marketing, education and communications activities. NASSPA also provides a forum where the users of steel sheet piling technology can interact and discuss best practices.
