Designation:A328/A328M13aAmerican Association StateHighway and Transportation Officials StandardAASHTO No.:M 202Standard Specification forSteel Sheet Piling1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A328/A328M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers carbon steel sheet piling ofstructural quality for use in the construction of dock walls,seawalls,cofferdams,excavations,and like applications(seeSpecification A572/A572M).1.2 When the steel is to be welded,it is presupposed that awelding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intendeduse or service will be utilized.See Appendix X3 of Specifica-tion A6/A6M for information on weldability.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard.Within the text,the SI units areshown in brackets.The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents;therefore,each system must be used inde-pendently of the other.Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with this specification.1.4 For sheet piling produced from coil and furnishedwithout heat treatment or with stress relieving only,theadditional requirements,including additional testing require-ments and the reporting of additional test results,of Specifi-cation A6/A6M apply.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A6/A6M Specification for General Requirements for RolledStructural Steel Bars,Plates,Shapes,and Sheet PilingA572/A572M Specification for High-Strength Low-AlloyColumbium-Vanadium Structural Steel3.General Requirements for Delivery3.1 Sheet piling furnished under this specification shallconform to the requirements of the current edition of Specifi-cation A6/A6M,for the specific sheet piling ordered,unless aconflict exists,in which case this specification shall prevail.3.2 Coils are excluded from qualification to this specifica-tion until they are processed into finished sheet piling.Sheetpiling produced from coil means sheet piling that has been cutto individual lengths from a coil.The processor directlycontrols,or is responsible for,the operations involved in theprocessing of a coil into finished sheet piling.Such operationsinclude decoiling,leveling,hot-forming or cold-forming(ifapplicable),cutting to length,testing,inspection,conditioning,heat treatment(if applicable),packaging,marking,loading forshipment,and certification.NOTE1For sheet piling produced from coil and furnished withoutheat treatment or with stress relieving only,two test results are to bereported for each qualifying coil.Additional requirements regarding sheetpiling produced from coil are described in Specification A6/A6M.4.Process4.1 The steel shall be killed.5.Chemical Requirements5.1 The heat analysis shall conform to the requirementsprescribed in Table 1.5.2 The steel shall conform on product analysis to therequirements prescribed in Table 1,subject to the productanalysis tolerances in Specification A6/A6M.6.Mechanical Requirements6.1 The material,as represented by the test specimens,shall conform to the requirements as to tensile propertiesprescribed in Table 2.6.2 A minimum tensile strength of 60 ksi 415 MPa and aminimum yield point of 36 ksi 250 MPa shall be permittedfor piling sections used in the fabrication of cold-formedconnections.7.Keywords7.1 carbon;cofferdams;dock walls;excavations;sea walls;sheet piling;steel;structural steel1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.02 on Structural Steel for Bridges,Buildings,Rolling Stock and Ships.Current edition approved Nov.1,2013.Published November 2013.Originallypublished in 1950.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as A328/A328M 13.DOI:10.1520/A0328_A0328M-13A.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTSThe following supplementary requirement shall apply only when specified in the purchase order:S99.Interlock StrengthS99.1.The minimum strength of the interlocked joint re-quired for certain services may be specified for straight web(PS type)and arched web(PSA type)sheet piling sectionssubject to specific agreement between the material purchaserand the manufacturer.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee A
