The determination of the strength of timber sheet pile walls
article
In the Netherlands, sheet pile walls are widely used to protect
waterways. In total, 2400 km of these sheet pile walls are made of
timber. The most common timber species for this purpose is
azobé (Lophira alata) which allows a maximum depth of about 8
metres. Timber sheet pile walls consist of boards coupled along
their edges by a tongue and groove. This paper deals with material
parameters, modelling and computer simulations using DIANA.
For the computer simulation, the Hoffman yield criterion is used
with a cracking criterion in order to model the distribution of
compression and tension stresses in the azobé boards.
