Abstract: Provided are a connected wall structure consisting of steel pipe sheet piles and a steel sheet pile and a method of constructing the same, such that there is formed a connected structure wherein a certain degree of construction errors is made allowable, with the result that there is provided a rational connected structure which is excellent in constructability and allows for the reduction in construction cost. In order that steel pipe sheet piles 1 installed by being driven with a gap therebetween will be connected together by a steel sheet pile 2 for the purpose of forming a connected wall structure, there are provided on the sides of the steel pipe sheet piles 1, connecting members 3 having slits 3a continuously extending in the longitudinal direction. The ends of the steel pile 2 are fitted into the slits 3a from the longitudinal direction. Predetermined play u for absorbing construction errors between the steel pipe sheet piles 1 is provided in the connecting sections. Since spaces sufficient to absorb construction errors are provided in the connecting sections for the steel pipe sheet piles and the steel sheet pile, the ends of the steel sheet pile may be easily fitted and installed even if the steel pipe sheet piles, undergo elongation or shrinkage due to driving.
= 200 mm, while the sheet thickness thereof takes values of 11 ram, 14 mm, and 16 mm. The results of the above FEM
analysis are shown in FIG. 14. It is seen from FIG. 14 that the gradient of a straight line is subject to change at points of not more and not less than 14 ram in sheet thickness. Meanwhile, it is seen from the expression {!)" that the sheet thickness t at the time of substitution of 0 = 200 ram is t ^ 13.7 mm, which also agrees well with the changing point of gradient obtained from the FEM analysis. [0064]
It may be considered that the actual steel pipe sheet pile 1 is subject to a certain degree of variations in diameter and/or slit width or others such as welding at the time of machining and/or installation of the connecting member 3. It is thus preferable that there is provided a structure which is such that the sheet thickness t of the connecting member 3 is equal to or larger than the sheet thickness at the changing point of gradient, that is, a structure which meets the expression (2). [Expression 9]

[0065]
It is noted that the steel sheet pile member does not need to have the same length as the steel pipe sheet pile 1, and thus may be smaller in length than the steel pipe sheet pile 1, in other words, may be of length which is not less than the wall height in order to play a wall role in prevention of outward landslides of earth and sand in the rear. [0066]
Further, in cases where the cut-off function is desired for the wall structure, some cut-off treatments have been generally taken in such a manner that the connecting sections are charged with a cut-off material. In this case, for the narrow spaces of the connecting sections, it is feared that the connecting sections
-22-
are hard to be sufficiently charged with the cut-off material because of the difficulty of charging of the cut-off material therein, resulting in no satisfactory fulfillment of the cut-off function. [0067]
For that reason, there is provided the connected wall structure which is such that spaces sufficient to be charged with the cut-off material are provided in the connecting sections for the steel pipe sheet piles 1 and the steel sheet pile 2, and consequently, it may be expected that a sufficient cut-off function will be attained, together with the reduced construction cost and less time and/or labor in relation to the cut-off treatments. [0068]
As for the cut-off treatments, there is one instance where after installation of the wall, the connecting section is excavated using a construction method such as water jetting in order to charge the inside thereof with mortar and/or cut-off material. Accordingly, it is thus preferable that the spaces in the connecting sections for the steel pipe sheet piles and the steel sheet pile will be sized to such an extent that excavation by means of water jetting is executable. [0069]
The connecting members 3 of the steel pipe sheet piles 1 include, as one instance thereof, connecting members of steel pipe type, each of which being such that a usually available steel pipe having a diameter of 165. 2 mm has an about 30-mm-long slit 3a as shown in FIG. 2 (a) . Thus, application of such type of connecting members will allow a filling material for cut-off to be fully charged even after connection with the steel sheet pile 2 is made. [0070]
The sufficiently-sized spaces are provided in the connecting
sections for the steel pipe sheet piles 1 and the steel sheet pile 1, and consequently, the property of installation by driving is increased, together with workability for the cut-off treatments. In this case, however, it is feared that too large spaces, if provided, will cause the connecting sections to be disengaged at the time of installation by driving, [0071]
In this connection, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4{c), there is provided a stopper member 4 in a joint section 2c (or a hooked section) of the steel sheet pile 2, and consequently, it is possible to prevent disengagement from the connecting sections for the steel pipe sheet piles 1. [0072]
The stopper member 4 in this case is not particularly limited, and thus may be round steels, deformed steel bars, flat steels and the like, or otherwise, members other than the above are also available. Further, the stopper member 4 does not need to be arranged longitudinally over the whole length of the steel sheet pile 2, and thus maybe in dispersed arrangement in order to suppress the machining cost and/or the amount of strain occurring in the steel sheet pile 2 at the time of installation of members. [0073]
FIG. 5(a) shows one instance where the hat-shaped steel sheet pile 2 is connected to the steel pipe sheet piles in such a manner as to be eccentric therefrom, in which case, the steel sheet pile 2 is so positioned as to be eccentric from the center axis of the steel pipe sheet piles 1 in order to make alignment of the surfaces asof the wall, and consequently, theremaybe provided the increased constructability in cases where facing panels are installed on the front surface of the wall. [0074]
Likewise, in FIG, 5(b), there is shown one instance where
2^
the straight-shaped steel sheet pile 12 is connected to the steel pipe sheet piles 1 in such a manner as to be eccentric therefrom. REPRESENTATIONS OF REFERENCE NUMERALS [0075]
