In the field of infrastructure construction, steel sheet piles from the early European pioneering application has been over a hundred years. As a modern foundation and underground engineering fields important construction materials, steel sheet pile to meet the traditional water resources, civil engineering, road traffic engineering, environmental remediation, and control of sudden-onset disasters, and many other fields of engineering construction needs. steel sheet pile products according to production process into a cold-formed steel sheet pile and two types of hot-rolled steel sheet piling. In engineering construction, cold-formed steel sheet pile narrow range of applications, most of the material as an application supplement, hot-rolledsteel sheet pile has been the leading product engineering applications. My previous years, the production and application of hot-rolled steel sheet pile is empty, as the national economy in recent years, the rapid development of U-type hot-rolled steel sheet piling has been gradually reinforced in the dike, dam cofferdam, to build a dock piers and retaining walls, and so Hydraulic engineering and construction of retaining walls, mountain slope, tectonics pit support and other infrastructure projects applied. Hot-rolled steel sheet pile Applied Technology Development in China late last century, 50 in Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge construction, the bridge from the Bureau of the Ministry of Railways to introduce from the former Soviet Union, China for the first time U-type steel sheet pile cofferdam the water used in construction of bridge pier. The next few decades, constrained by economic strength, combined with the domestic production does not have the equipment and rolling technology, with a limit on the shortage of construction machinery and construction of technological backwardness and other factors, the application of hot-rolled steel sheet piles have been at a standstill. The late 20th century, Shanghai Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. by virtue of Brahma from abroad mill production line technology and equipment conditions, the production of width 400mm, U-type steel sheet pile more than 5,000 tons, and successfully applied to the Nen River Bridge, cofferdam, New Century Shipyard, Jingjiang 300 thousand tons dock and Bangladesh flood control works and other projects. However, during the trial production of low productivity, economic efficiency is poor, low domestic demand, lack of experience and technical and other reasons, unable to continue production. According to statistics, China’s annual consumption of steel sheet pile to keep 3 million tons, accounting for only 1% of the world%, and is limited to a number of ports, terminals, shipyards, engineering and bridge building permanent cofferdam foundation pit and other temporary works. In recent years, as China’s rapid economic development, all kinds of innovative, efficient, environmentally friendly construction techniques and materials to promote the use of progressive. Because of its high-strength lightweight steel sheet pile, sealing, good durability, construction, high efficiency, small footprint, and other unique properties inherent to solve a number of large-scale construction projects of China’s construction problems. Such as Shanghai Changxing Shipbuilding Base a project, Tangshan Caofeidian Coal Wharf and other major projects, in order to provide a handy steel sheet piles, steel sheet pile construction method to obtain a practical stage of these projects covering a one-time usage million tons of steel sheet pile to obtain good economic and social benefits. In addition, the foundation pit, retaining cofferdam, the terminal building in the temporary application of a number of projects have also been tried, such as the second phase of the Pudong International Airport, the Shanghai Expo project, Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge, Wenfu Railway Project , steel sheet pile is also a larger amount of the provisional envelope. steel sheet pile construction played an important role, and to better meet our economic development, science and technology innovation, environmental protection and sustainable development needs. However, generally speaking, China’s steel sheet pile technology is still in the initial stage, the current annual consumption of steel sheet pile of about 30,000 tons, with China accounting for one-third of global steel consumption status of disproportionate, with the developed countries still exist in a significant gap, thus the production of hot-rolled steel sheet pile and applications still have a long way to go. Hot-rolled steel sheet pile application technology is very bright future as a reusable infrastructure for environment-friendly materials, hot-rolled steel sheet piling for its U-efficient, durable, simple, lightweight and an excellent cross-section sealed impermeable structure and shape, has to meet the demand for engineering structures, functional reliability, ease of use and the unique advantages such as safety and environmental protection. Compared with other workers, steel sheet pile construction with a simple construction, operation occupying a smaller space, construction, and flexible operation simple; operating speed, short construction period, suitable for the implementation of floods, landslides, subsidence, quicksand and other disasters, the rapid rescue; structure of light, Compared with other constructs, self-structure, light, bearing capacity of a strong earthquake monomer good; watertight and strong, can quickly sealing or plugging constructs, anti-infiltration and easy construction; durability is good, in a relatively poor use environment, the life expectancy of up to 50 years; construction of environmental protection, earth and concrete consumption significantly reduced the amount of the effective protection of land resources; reproducible, and can be used repeatedly in an ad hoc projects 20 to 30 second-class features. Although our application of hot-rolled steel sheet pile is still in its infancy, with a great gap between the Western developed countries, but the gap is the driving force, power bears the opportunity. For the application of advanced technology to comprehensively promote steel sheet pile used in the construction sector in China, production and design, construction and use of square together actively engaged in the cultivation of the market hot-rolled steel sheet pile, Qing Li with foreign production and application of mature technology and construction experience to lead the country sheet piling market. Based on steel sheet pile in the construction operations of the many advantages, the State General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the National Standardization Management Committee on May 14, 2007 issued a “U-type hot-rolled steel sheet pile” national standards, and in 2007, December 1 formally implemented. The implementation of standards on the future of China’s production and application of steel sheet pile, with milestone significance. According to market analysis and forecasting the next 10 years, China’s annual consumption of hot-rolled steel sheet pile volume is expected to more than 500,000 tons. The industry believes that the future application of hot-rolled steel sheet pile hot spots mainly in the following aspects: First, land is a non-renewable resources, but also irreplaceable, China’s agricultural production, land has always been tight, infrastructure, large-scale with soil. Has continuously shrinking land resources in the state, especially in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and others much less industrialized areas, not only to develop and also highlights the contradiction between protecting natural resources, land resources, the phenomenon of tension is particularly acute. In civil engineering construction, the use of steel sheet pile can not only reduce the filling section, reducing the amount of earth filling, but also with soil conservation, protect the environment. As China continued to strengthen the management of land resources, land use, a significant increase in cost. Economically developed cities building construction, the Big Dig-style building foundation construction has been less and less, all kinds of retaining wall construction technology improvements will greatly facilitate the needs of steel sheet pile. To further strengthen the concept of conservation land, the steel sheet pile construction method of this new technology is bound to be popular and widely used. 2 is to enhance the defense capabilities of natural disasters, reduce landslide and mud-rock flow and the river floods and other natural disasters on people’s living environment and the natural environment destruction, the urgent need to improve slope protection, revetment quality grade, which is densely populated mountain and the surrounding traffic arteries of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers and other large maintenance has a special significance, using steel sheet pile construction technique can greatly reduce the filling section, reducing the amount of earth filling, save soil, these measures will lead to significant demand for steel sheet pile. Third, the next 10 to 20 years, transforming our waters and along the coastal areas of infrastructure planning has been completed the design, Jianghai large-scale development will inevitably lead to the transformation of river basins, transport investment is bound to set off a large river crossing, the bridge across the sea and the mountains building climax, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Rim Economic Circle continue to develop, Tangshan Caofeidian Industrial Zone construction, the development of the Yellow River estuary area and so will appear related to the economic development of China’s super-large-scale series of projects at the same time, China’s high-speed railways, inter-city light rail lines, highways and other transportation arteries State Road construction in the ascendant, construction involved in a series of technical, economic, environmental and other issues are the application of steel sheet piles provided a broad space, is bound to the future of steel piling market provide a strong support. 4 is a steel sheet pile products promulgation and implementation of national standards for the production of manufacturers and provide customers with a good technical support. As China’s steel rolling a number of modern technological equipment for production runs, a number of development and production of hot-rolled steel sheet pile with the hardware capabilities of the large-scale iron and steel enterprises, has been tracking sheet piling market development, expected next 5 to 10 years, China will form a large heat U-rolled steel sheet piling production capacity for our construction projects to ensure the provision of adequate supplies. We are at a historical period of economic development, as China’s rapid economic development, greatly increased economic strength, infrastructure to flourish. Developed countries, economic development, experience has shown that in a period of rapid economic development in China, the geographical distribution of a wide complex geological structure, with applications specific steel sheet pile and wide-ranging needs of the emerging infrastructure for our hot-rolled steel sheet pile applications a very wide space. Despite the current hot-rolled steel sheet piles in China’s market situation and a decade ago, very similar to H-beam, China’s hot-rolled steel sheet pile production and application development, there is still a long way to go, but we are convinced that today’s hot-rolled H-beam applications must be will be clear to the U-type hot-rolled steel sheet pile applications, a better tomorrow.
