Joining element for sheet piles

Abstract

The invention relates to a preformed weldable sheet pile (10) having a consistent cross-section, for the purpose of constructing an arrangement of sheet pile wall components, and particularly for the purpose of constructing a combi sheet pile wall. The weldable sheet pile according to the invention has a first flank (12), wherein a preformed weld end (26; 90) is constructed on the longitudinal edge of said first flank [(12)] to be welded onto a sheet pile wall component (62) of the arrangement (50), has a second flank (14), wherein an interlock (30) is formed on the longitudinal edge of said second flank [(14)] for the purpose of linking into the interlock of a further sheet pile wall component of the arrangement (50), and has a center web [(16)] which runs in a straight line and which connects the two flanks (12, 14) to each other. The center web (16) runs at an angle to each of the two flanks (12, 14), as viewed in the cross-section of the weldable sheet pile (10), in such a manner that the weldable sheet pile (10) is substantially z-shaped in cross-section.
