The Piling Handbook (PHB) has been a reference in the steel piling industry for decades. Its main objective is to support design engineers and piling contractors to design safe and cost-effective steel sheet pile structures and additionally, it contains many practical tips for the installation.
In this first revision of the 9th edition, our engineers worked on two key chapters, and fixed some typos in other chapters:
- Chapter 1: Product information.The product range evolves constantly: new and more cost-effective sheet pile profiles replace older profiles. This updated chapter reflects the changes, but you can still find the section properties of profiles which are not produced any more in Chapter 13.
- Chapter 3: Sustainability and durability.Nowadays environmental aspects are one key parameter when selecting a solution. How can you compare the environmental footprint of alternatives? What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)? Has the recycling rate an influence on the carbon footprint? You will find short answers in this chapter. We also added a paragraph on durability of steel structures, which is one of the parameters influencing the environmental analysis.
You can download the new pdf file of the handbook in our Download Center (link at the bottom of the page).
Feel free to share your comments / suggestions for the 10th version of the PHB by e-mail. We expect to release it by the end of 2023 latest.
