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.

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 2020 kips ft/ft
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
max (v'',v''')
one is referring to the outside fibre of the king pile flange

Section modulus ** =
Moment of inertia
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
effec-tively. 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.
Connection Detail
HZ Pile and Tie rod
Anchor Slots
To reduce anchoring work on site, HZ sections can be
delivered with precut anchor slots, on request. The accompanying illustration shows tie rod slots being cut.
Dimensions h and b vary with the tie rod diameter.

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.
Note: WHZ,eq is labelled in the tables simply as elastic section

modulus.
- 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.

- 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.

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 high-pressure 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.

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.
