This study carried out full-scale tension, compression and shearing test for various types of joint sections in steel pipe sheet pile (SPSP) as detailed understanding of mechanical characteristics for the SPSP foundations. Furthermore, 3D-frame structural analysis that can consider obtained mechanical characteristics of joint sections in SPSP was developed.
In this study, the tension, compression and shearing behaviors were clarified experimentally for P-P, P-T, L-T and H-H joint sections. Furthermore, applicability and validity of 3D-frame structural analysis with considering the mechanical characteristics of the joint section was confirmed.
