Learn the key principles governing the design, installation, and maintenance of sheet pile structures. This module covers soil behaviour, loads, failure mechanisms, calculation methods, cost optimization, corrosion protection, and driving techniques. It also introduces structural-health monitoring and shows how reliable data can support maintenance, safety, and service-life extension.
