S690 steel is increasingly used in foundation engineering due to its high strength, durability and versatility. Here are some of the key applications and benefits of using S690 steel structures in foundation engineering:
Deep Basics
Universal load-bearing piles and pile caps: S690 steel is used to manufacture driven or bored piles to provide the necessary load-bearing capacity for heavy-duty structures. Its strength allows for longer spans and smaller dimensions.
UBP 305*305*223kg/m
UBP305*305*283kg/m
Bored piles: S690 steel bars can be integrated into bored piles to enhance their load-bearing capacity and improve structural performance.
Sheet piles
Temporary and permanent walls: S690 steel sheet piles are used in excavation support systems and waterfront structures. Their high strength allows for thinner profiles, reducing soil disturbance and excavation volume.
Waterfront structures: S690 sheet piles are used in marine applications, providing a robust solution for docks, ports and seawalls, ensuring stability against water pressure and erosion.
Earth retaining structure
Retaining Wall: The retaining wall is constructed using S690 steel to provide high resistance to lateral earth pressure while minimizing material usage.
Shoring Excavations: In deep excavations, S690 steel shoring systems can provide effective support, resulting in safer working conditions and reduced risk of collapse.
Load-bearing structure
Modular construction: S690 steel can be present Foundation piles: S690 steel can be integrated into foundation piles, enhancing load distribution and providing additional strength to support heavy structures.
Base plates and anchoring systems: High-strength S690 steel is ideal for base plates and anchoring systems, ensuring a strong connection between the superstructure and foundation elements.
Seismic resistance
Earthquake-Resistant Foundations: The ductility and strength of S690 steel make it suitable for foundations in seismic zones, helping to absorb and dissipate energy during seismic events.
Resistance to dynamic loads: Its high strength enables the foundation to better withstand dynamic loads from traffic, machinery or environmental forces.
Ground strength improvement
Soil Reinforcement: S690 steel can be used in soil reinforcement techniques such as soil nails or geogrid systems to enhance the overall stability of the ground.
Micropiles: S690 steel micropiles can be used to stabilize foundations, particularly in challenging soil conditions, providing a compact and effective solution.
Corrosion Resistance Protective coating: When properly coated, S690 steel exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for foundations exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as in coastal areas.
Sustainability Material Efficiency: Using S690 steel in the foundation reduces the overall amount of material required, allowing for more sustainable building practices.
The application of S690 steel structure in foundation engineering improves the performance, efficiency and sustainability of foundation systems. Its high strength and versatility make it ideal for a variety of foundation applications, from deep foundations to retaining structures.
