Review article

The article presents the results of evaluating the effectiveness of breaking the sheet pile wall during vibration extraction of sheet piles. There have been carried out numerous measurements of the sheet pile wall vibrations, surrounding soil massif, foundations of the adjoining structure. The observation results have shown that the overall level of dynamic impact has significantly decreased in comparison with the closed wall. The zone of propagation of vibrations along a closed wall has been determined. The results of numerical modeling are presented. Comparison of the building vibrations for the case of «non-open» and «open wall» are made. Recommendations are given on the technological sequence of sheet pile extraction.
