The usage of “sheet pile wall” is very common solution in Denmark due to the geographic situation of the country – low sea level, a significant part of the state border is sea, high groundwater level, poor geotechnical conditions. The “sheet pile wall” is used for strengthening of embankments, reclaim marine territories and as a supporting walls of railway lines and roads. As a consequence of this, a very common solution is to use the sheet pile walls as a part of the substructure of bridges – overpasses of railway lines and roads when the alignment is in excavation. From one side, the “sheet pile wall” are used as wing walls of the bridge and they support the road embankment. From another side, it is used as an abutment walls of the bridge. The part of the wall acting as a bridge support is design with some concrete “hammer beam”. The “hammer” in some cases is connected to the bridge deck by means of concrete hinges. Very often, “sheet pile wall” in the zone of the wing walls is combined with anchors in order to take increased section forces. Common variants in Denmark practice for connection of the bridge superstructure and sheet pile substructure are presented and analysed in the paper.
