PPS(Prestressed Pipe Strut) Method



Introduction



  • PPS Method, different from common Strut Method, deals with pre-compressive force using pre-compression load jack making use of circular steel pipe of which resistance limits in relation to the allowable compressive force and buckling are relatively larger, and that it minimizes the retaining wall horizontal displacement and its surrounding ground sinking. Thus it will enable to plan efficient excavating works making use of broad working space. Also space between PPS placement is wide in both vertical and horizontal direction, and there are no POST Piles, so this construction method is much more advantageous comparing with Strut Method in terms of constructability of structures and quality management.

  • Main Resources of PPS, and Performance Comparison according to Identical Slenderness Ratio

  • Allowable Load according to Buckling Length of PPS

  • PPS Connection Detail

  • Comparison of PPS with H-Strut Method (The result from the review of alternative design)
