Sheet pile wall cappings

Permanent sheet pile wall structures are finished off at the top Steel cappings generally meet such requirements and are distinguis-
with a steel capping or reinforced concrete capping beam. hed by their ease of installation.

They are designed to suit constructional and operational The rolled or pressed „Union” capping with its distinctive „bulb” is
criteria. However, structural considerations also play a role if commonly used. It provides a readily visible termination to the top of
the capping is required to transfer support reactions (capping the sheet pile wall and prevents mooring ropes from being damaged
beam) . With adequate bending stiffness, a capping enables the by rubbing and scuffing. And with studs or serrations on the horizontal
top of the wall to be aligned, distributes operational loads and surfaces, this type of capping ensures a good non-slip surface. The
prevents uneven deflection of the top of the wall. „Union” capping is normally fixed to the sheet pile wall by welding it to
a wide steel flat or bolting it to an angle. If the capping also functions
as a waling, it must be designed in accordance with EAU 2012.
