Our mill producing the HZ king pile elements needs to be revamped in order to offer in the
coming months a brand new system providing a wider range of technical possibilities and
allowing the design of more cost-effective solutions. During this transition period our current
HZ production will be limited to the HZ 775 and HZ 975 series.
This revised May 2007 edition shows all the solutions available during this transition period,
and includes the new wide intermediate AZ steel sheet piles AZ13-770 and AZ18-700.
For further information, feel free to contact our sales or technical department in Luxembourg, or
our worldwide sales network. Updated information will also be posted on our website
www.arcelor.com/sheetpiling.
Arcelor Mittal reserves the right to replace without prior notice the existing HZ/AZ combined wall
system by an equivalent system.

HZ Steel Wall System

The HZ wall is a combined system
incorporating :

- as bearing piles, they resist vertical

superimposed loads.

- HZ king piles as structural supports,

- AZ sheet piles as intermediate infill
elements.

The intermediate sheet piles have only

an earth-retaining and load transfer
function and they may be shorter than
the HZ king piles.

A full range of standard series

sections interlinked by special
connectors.
Systemwise assembly of these basic
elements yields a multitude of possible
combinations.
All combinations are based on the same principle :
structural supports comprising one or more HZ king pile
sections alternating with intermediate double AZ sheet pile
sections.
Structurally, the HZ king piles fulfil two different functions :
- as retaining members, they resist horizontal loads resulting from earth and hydrostatic pressures,

Depending on the structural combination and grade of steel adopted,

bending moments up to 9000 kNm/m
can be safely resisted by HZ walling.
Meaning the practical range of sectional combinations is characterised by
loadings unsuitable for conventional sheet piling. Concurrently,
an excellent section modulus to weight ratio ensures economical design.
The outstanding feature of the new combination
is the extensive range of possible combinations
using the entire AZ sheet pile offer, if necessary, including all up and down rolled variants.

Determination of the Section Modulus

For more transparency this catalogue gives two different values
for the section modulus of solutions and combinations instead
of the approximate single value of the previous editions.
In the tables of the characteristics of the solutions and combinations there are generally two values for the section modulus:
one is referring to the outside fibre of the connector
Section modulus * =

Moment of inertia

one is referring to the outside fibre of the king pile

flange
Moment of inertia
Section modulus ** =
max (v,v')

max (v,v)

where max (v,v') represents the highest value of v or v'

where max (v'',v''') represents the highest value of v'' or v'''

Anchorage of HZ Walls
Tie-Back System
Anchorage of HZ walling can be provided simply and effectively. A tie rod links each HZ king pile to a steel sheet pile
anchor wall or to isolated sheet pile panels - a particularly
economic solution.
Because each king pile is anchored, a complicated waler
system is not required. The tie rod is simply linked to the

relevant H-pile by two T-connectors and a pin. T-connectors

are threaded through oxyacetylene-cut slots in the rear flanges
of the driven H-piles. Loads are thereby applied close to the
web.
Conventional anchoring, incorporating a waler system, is also
possible. HZ walling can also be anchored by batter piles or
by ground or rock anchors.

Design of the HZ Steel Wall System

The design of a cantilever or anchored wall is consistent
with that of all standard sheet pile walls, but calculating the
section of combined HZ walling may be undertaken somewhat differently to conventional sheet piling.
In combined walls, savings can be achieved in terms of
steel grade and pile length for the intermediate sheet piles.
- In the stress analysis, the intermediate sheet pile only
resists a small portion of the bending moment proportional
to its own contribution to the combined moment of inertia.
Stresses in the infill sheet pile are invariably less than
stresses in the HZ king pile sections. The result is that a
low yield point steel grade can normally be used for the
AZ sheet pile sections.
Moment of inertia of one HZ/AZ system:
Isystem = IHZ + IAZ
(cm4)
Moment of inertia of the system per m of wall:

- In the ground, where there is earth support and embedment, the length of the intermediate sheet piles can be
considerably curtailed.
- In general, bending is less in the embedded portion than
in the retaining portion of the wall, especially in the case
of an anchored design, and the limited strength in bending of the intermediate sheet piles can be neglected.
- In the infill role the intermediate sheet piling is only
required to resist active earth pressures down to the zero
earth pressure level. As a factor of safety, its length is
extended below this level (Fig. a).
- HZ king pile spacing should be so that full continuous
earth resistance is safeguarded. When determining pile
spacing, arching properties of the soils should be considered. If these properties are negligible (eg. in soft mud
or where groundwater pressure is high), the transverse
load capacity of the intermediate sheet piles needs to be
checked.
If the spacing of the king piles gets too big, the development of the retaining force in front of the wall has to be
checked.
Furthermore, if groundwater pressures are high, the risk of
seepage beneath the toe should not be neglected when
curtailing the length of the intermediate sheet piles.
The section modulus of the HZ king piles can be adapted
to the resultant bending moment by adding RH sections or
by welding stiffening plates to their flanges. As a result, a
lighter section can be selected and simply strengthened
locally where maximum bending occurs (Figs. b and c).

The new combined walling, in which the full range of AZ

sections can be used as intermediate sheet piles, offers flexibility in terms of design. Heavier AZ sections can also be
selected to enhance corrosion resistance or in cases involving difficult driving conditions.

Fig. a

Fig. b

The HZ king piles are capable of transferring high vertical

loads to the subsoil. In such cases, stress analysis should
include vertical loads and additional bending moments
induced by deflection.

Installing combined HZ walls

Procedure
HZ walls can be installed on land and in water. In both cases
the procedure is the same. First the king piles are driven in
small or large driving steps. Then the intermediate sheet piles
are pitched and driven. If geotechnical conditions are difficult,
it may be necessary to carry out the whole driving operation
in two stages. In this case the first stage is to drive the king
piles as far as possible, or to a predetermined intermediate
depth. The intermediate sheet piles are then threaded and
driven, generally to the same depth as the king piles, or to
a shallower depth. The second stage is to drive first the king
piles and then the infill sheets down to the design depth or
to refusal.
Driving equipment and driving aids
With current technology hammer or vibratory equipment can
be used to drive king and intermediate sheet piles. Vibratory
equipment should be preferred wherever possible (less damage to the pile). A combination of the two techniques can
be used above all in driving the king piles. In this case the
king piles are first driven using vibration, as described above,
and then the final depth is reached using a hammer. Types
of hammers used are free-fall hammers, diesel hammers and
hydraulic hammers.
If using free-fall or diesel hammers, a driving cap must
be used, and in the case of a hydraulic hammer, a driving plate which fits the pile head. If, however, vibration is
used for driving, correct load transfer to the pile must be
ensured by fitting a corresponding clamp to the pile head.
Double clamps are used for box piles and for intermediate
AZ sheet piles.
Intermediate sheet piles are generally driven by vibrational
means.

If geotechnical conditions are difficult, driving is facilitated by

means of auxiliary techniques such as:
- Low-pressure or high-pressure jetting in granular or lightly
cohesive soil
- Predrilling
- Drillings combined with soil replacement
- Pre-blasting
- Thickening the cross section at the toe of the pile in cohesive
soils with the aim of reducing skin friction.
These techniques apply to king piles as well as to intermediate sheet piles.
Installation methods
It is essential that the king piles are driving in the correct position and vertically, or at the prescribed batter. Two different
methods can be used.
Method 1
Use of a template with two guide levels at which the pitching
positions for the piles are set. The vertical distance between
the two guide levels should not be less than 3 m. Wherever
possible a greater distance should be chosen. The lower
guide should be set as low as possible. When driving in
water the template is mounted on auxiliary piles. On land
the template can stand on the ground and should be secured
firmly against any shifting. The template must of course be
correctly aligned with the wall axis.
Depending on the design, such templates can have space for
5 to 9 king piles. These primary piles are driven using a freehanging vibrator or a hammer guided by a hanging leader,
the vibrator being the most commonly used equipment.
When all the piles of a template are driven, the template is
repositioned.
Intermediate sheet piles can then be installed, for example, by
a second driving team.

24

Method 2
The king piles are driven using piling equipment guided by
a fixed leader. The correct driving angle, in the direction of
the pile axis, must be ensured by the leader, and the correct
positioning through a simple horizontal driving guide. When
piling in water the latter is secured above the water level on
auxiliary piles, in all other cases it is set down on the driving
platform and secured.
In both methods it is important to constantly check that
the position of the king piles is as close as possible to the
design position. This is essential for trouble-free driving of the
intermediate sheet piles. At the depth of the toe of the sheet
piling, the spacing between the king piles should not deviate
by more than 200 mm.
Useful hints
If the rock horizon is higher than the required penetration
depth of the combined wall the bottom of the piling can be
secured by dowelling the king pile to the underlying rock (toe
pin). Another solution is to pitch the king piles into corresponding predrillings.

It is advisable to choose a vibrator with a sufficient power

reserve. This helps guard against the danger of interlock damage through overheating.
Hammers should also be sufficiently powerful so as to avoid,
for example, local deformation of the piles. Hammers with
variable impact energy are preferable.
If, when installing the intermediate sheet piles, progress
is impossible or can only be achieved through excessive
driving energy, check the following:
- Check that there are no obstructions in the soil. This can be
done, for example, by extracting the intermediate sheet pile
and re-driving it outside the interlocks.
- Check that the spacing and the positioning of the king piles
is correct. This can be done, for example, by means of an
inclinometer. A tube of the same diameter as the inclinometer is fitted with a corresponding interlock piece and jetted
in at the back of the king piles. The measurements taken by
the inclinometer will give information on the actual position
of the king pile at the relevant depths.
If it is established that the spacing between the king piles
does not correspond to the requirements, the king piles must
be extracted and redriven.
It is not recommended to force the driving of an intermediate
sheet pile, as experience shows that this generally leads to
damage and often to de-clutching problems.
If geotechnical conditions are problematic and if driving is
expected to be difficult, it may be advisable to fit jetting tubes
to the intermediate sheet piles, close to the free threading
interlocks, for low-pressure jetting to facilitate driving. For highpressure jetting it is recommended to use an appropriately
equipped displacement pile. This displacement pile is driven
prior to inserting the actual intermediate sheet pile, and then
extracted.

Research and Development

Limit Water Pressure
During the development of the HZ
system Arcelor Mittal in collaboration
with independent research institutes carried out tests on double Z sheet piles
used as intermediary elements in a
combined wall.

It had been shown in the framework of

a previous research project via finite element simulations that these concentrated
loads may be considered an acceptable approximation for a hydrostatic
pressure distribution.

The aim of the tests was to determine

the load-carrying behaviour of these elements when loaded by water pressure.

From the outcome of the tests the excellent behaviour of this type of combined
wall under hydrostatic loading was confirmed: differential water head up to
15 m could be borne by the system
without failure. During all the tests no
declutching occurred, proving the reliability of the connections.

Two hydraulic jacks acting at the flange

corners of the Z-piles simulated the
water pressure loading.

For the chemical analysis see corresponding
standard.
Other qualities of the type:
steel with copper addition
special steels
steel with an improved corrosion resistance, on request.
A proposed galvanisation of the finished
product for corrosion protection for instance,
has an influence on the chemical analysis and
must be specified in the purchase order.
It is recommended that the manufacturer be
informed by the purchaser at the time of the
order, if a surface treatment on the product is
foreseen after delivery.

Our mill producing the HZ king pile elements needs to be revamped in order to offer in the
coming months a brand new system providing a wider range of technical possibilities and
allowing the design of more cost-effective solutions. During this transition period our current
HZ production will be limited to the HZ 775 and HZ 975 series.
This revised May 2007 edition shows all the solutions available during this transition period,
and includes the new wide intermediate AZ steel sheet piles AZ13-770 and AZ18-700.
For further information, feel free to contact our sales or technical department in Luxembourg, or
our worldwide sales network. Updated information will also be posted on our website
www.arcelor.com/sheetpiling.
Arcelor Mittal reserves the right to replace without prior notice the existing HZ/AZ combined wall
system by an equivalent system.
