Foundation engineer: The foundation engineer is concerned with the earth's support of any construction project. He must be familiar with soils and their behavior under stress, and with the effects of water and air on soils and rocks. He provides design data to the structural engineer so that the latter can design the structure based on correct support data. 2, record 1, English, - foundation%20engineering

On se sert des palplanches métalliques ou en béton pour confectionner des rideaux plans verticaux continus ou des enceintes fermées. C'est sous cette forme d’enceinte fermée, circulaire, d’assez grand diamètre pour ne pas les déformer, que l'on rencontre les palplanches métalliques en technique de fondations. 1, record 1, French, - technique%20de%20fondations

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Interlocking steel sheet-piles are now used more commonly than timber piles. The cross-section of the pile is such that for the minimum amount of metal, a pile of great strength in bending or direct load is obtained, thus permitting driving and extraction without distortion. (...) Steel sheet-piles are used not only for holding up the faces of excavations, cofferdams and similar temporary work, but for permanent structures such as quay or wharf walls, river-bank retaining walls, and the like. 1, record 4, English, - steel%20sheet%2Dpile

Les palplanches métalliques ont des profils variés(Z, S, 1 ou U) permettant d’obtenir une bonne inertie de la section dans le sens transversal. Des joints latéraux à emboîtement assurent une continuité longitudinale au rideau. Les palplanches métalliques présentent de nombreux avantages sur [les palplanches en bois et en béton]. Elles sont réutilisables, offrent des joints étanches de grandes longueurs, et une grande variété de modules; de plus elles pénètrent plus facilement dans le sol et sont plus résistantes. On utilise le plus souvent les palplanches pour réaliser des batardeaux, des soutènements(quais, talus), des enceintes de massifs de fondation, des renforcements étanches de digues en terre. 1, record 4, French, - palplanche%20m%C3%A9tallique
