Z Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Pile
Sheet piles are structural members which when interlocked to
another, will form a continuous wall, generally for retaining earth
or water. Sheet piling has historically been made of steel,
concrete, wood, aluminum or other materials. Steel is by far the
dominant choice, due to ready availability, relative strength, and
ease of handling, storage and installation.
Sheet pile shapes have evolved over the years from simple channel
sections with crude fabricated locks, to “U” shapes with integral,
rolled-on interlocks, to today’s wide range of high strength "Z"
shapes.
The Z type configuration is generally considered the strongest and
most efficient.
These shapes resemble wide-flange beams, having a web and two
flanges. The interlocks are located out on the flanges at maximum
distance from the neutral axis, and this provides a high section
modulus for resisting bending moments.
Because of this, Z-shapes have traditionally been used for heavier
construction projects. However, they are now complemented by the
arch or U shapes for lighter work, and lightweight Z-shapes have
been also introduced into the marketplace.
Because of their inherent strength, Z-piles can be handled and
shipped with less exposure to possible damage than some other style
sheets.
Z-piles are generally used in constructing straight wall structures
– cofferdams, bulkheads and retaining walls.

Z Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Pile Advantages:
– Extremely competitive section-modulus-to-mass ratio.
– Increased inertia for reduced deflection.
– Large width, resulting in good installation performance.
– Good corrosion resistance, the steel being thickest at the
critical corrosion points.
The essential characteristics of HRZ Hot Rolled steel sheet pile
are the continuous form of the web and the location of the
interlock symmetrically on each side of the neutral axis. Both
aspects have a positive influence on the section modulus.
