Fiber reinforced polymer sheet piling may also be manufactured of a synthetic fiber reinforced polymer frp.
Frp sheet pile wall.
Typical section of the rcc sheet pile is shown in figure below.
This type of sheet pile is also referred to as fiberglass or composite sheet pile.
The pultruded frp wale section was specifically designed to replace wood steel and concrete for applications where the environmental considerations require a high strength frp wale section that will not rot rust spall or succumb to marine borers.
Superwale eliminates the need for timber steel or concrete wale sections.
Frp sheet piles introduction fiberglass composite piles include round octagonal pipes and sheet piles.
Frp composite sheet piles are among the strongest and most durable synthetic piling products in the world.
Superwale sheet pile retaining wall.
The pile length can be increased either by welding or bolting.
These piles are relatively heavy and bulky.
A frp product consists of fiber reinforcement and a polymer resin matrix.
Round octagonal pipes general diameters are from 8 to 14 the length can be 4ft 20ft even 30ft.
Reinforced concrete sheet piles are precast concrete members usually with a tongue and groove joints.
The fiber reinforcement typi cally consists of glass reinforcing fibers.
