The interlocking mechanism on OZ steel sheet piles is located on the neutral axis, making them suitable for a variety of applications and construction conditions. These include rigid, narrow sections suitable for harsh construction conditions, as well as wider, more efficient sections. Designers and contractors must understand the impact of shear force transfer on design bearing capacity. This type of steel sheet pile is popular in Australia and New Zealand.

OZ steel sheet pile construction offers the following advantages:

1. Simple construction, requiring no large construction equipment;

2. Rapid construction, significantly reducing construction schedules;

3. The cross-section and length of cold-formed steel sheet piles can be adjusted to suit foundation conditions, enabling efficient and economical design;

4. Unlike free-standing structures, their walls are relatively lightweight, greatly facilitating seismic design.

Final Summary

Due to these advantages, cold-formed steel sheet piles are widely used in waterfront construction projects, revetment projects, temporary works, and other applications, and they offer a relatively low cost.
