Arrangement of sheet-pile components

Abstract

An arrangement of sheet-pile wall components includes two sheet-pile wall sections. The ends of the two sheet-pile wall sections are arranged. Their locks are hooked into two lock profiles of a connecting profile which is hooked via a third lock profile into the lock of an anchorage. The respective other ends of the sheet-pile wall sections are secured such that each of the two sheet-pile wall sections partially encloses a region. At least one of the lock profiles and the lock of the sheet-pile wall component of the anchorage in engagement therewith are configured in such a way that the lock profile of the connecting profile and the lock in engagement therewith are hooked one inside the other and grip around one another. As viewed in cross section, they bear on one another and are supported against one another by at least three points in at least one installed position.

1 . A connecting profile for sheet-pile wall components, such as sheet piles and carrier beam elements, said connecting profile comprising
 an integrally-formed solid base region with three lock profiles arranged thereon, said connecting profile with its lock profiles defining a superficial center of gravity, wherein at least one of the lock profiles of the connecting profile and a lock of a sheet-pile wall component in engagement therewith are configured so that the lock profile of the connecting profile and the lock in engagement therewith are hooked one inside the other and surround each other to make contact with one another and support one another by at least three points in an installed position, and wherein two of said three points of contact between each of said sheet-pile wall component-engaging lock profiles on the connecting profile and the first-end locks are arranged in a common circle.   
     
     
         2 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of the three lock profiles, as viewed in the cross-section of the connecting profile, form a three-point connection with a lock that is hooked into the respective lock profile. 
     
     
         3 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 1 , wherein two of the lock profiles, into which locks of two respective sheet-pile wall components are hooked, extend in a mirror-symmetrical fashion relative to a superficial center of gravity of the connecting profile. 
     
     
         4 .- 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each lock profile has a working point where a resulting tensile force impinges when sheet-pile wall components are hooked and extend in a direction of contact, and wherein at least one of the working points of each lock profile is the same radial distance from a superficial center of gravity of the connecting profile. 
     
     
         12 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the lock profiles are constructed such that the lock of the sheet-pile components, which will be hooked into the respective lock profile of the connecting profile, can be pivoted at least 15 degrees in the lock profile. 
     
     
         13 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the lock profile forming the three-point connection comprises a thumb bar with a middle ridge at which a thumb is formed, extending transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ridge and projecting beyond it, and also comprises a curved finger bar the free end of which points in the direction of the thumb bar, forms therewith an inner lock chamber with an at least approximately elliptical or oval in shape as viewed in cross-section, and the end of the thumb points in the direction of the finger bar defining a mouth for the locks of the hooked-on sheet-pile components. 
     
     
         14 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 13 , wherein at least one of the lock profiles extends at an angle in a given direction of contact, as viewed in cross-section, whereby the lock of the sheet pile component that will hook into this lock profile can be pivoted about the given direction of contact in a range of at least ±8 degrees to ±12 degrees with its direction of a main force impact. 
     
     
         15 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 14 , wherein all lock profiles extend at an angle of 5 to 10 degrees relative to a given direction of contact. 
     
     
         16 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the lock profile extends at an angle of 5 to 10 degrees relative to a given direction of contact thereof with a main axis of its cross-sectionally elliptical or oval inner lock chamber, the thumb bar being angled away from the given direction of contact. 
     
     
         17 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 14 , wherein two lock profiles whose thumb bars are fashioned at a base immediately adjacent one another are farther from a superficial center of gravity of the connecting profile than the other of the three lock profiles. 
     
     
         18 . The connecting profile as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said base has ridge bars projecting in a star configuration in the three directions of contact, at the ends of which the lock profiles are fashioned.
