Gerdau Ameristeel is the largest producer of steel sheet piling in North America. In September of 2007, Gerdau Ameristeel acquired Chaparral, including its operations that produce hot-rolled sheet piling. “Chaparral Sheet Piling” has now been re-branded to “Gerdau Sheet Piling.”

New FHWA Mechanically Stabilized Earth Retaining Wall (MSE Wall) Manual
The much anticipated LRFD update to the MSE Wall and Reinforced Soil Slope Manual is now available for download from the FHWA’s website. The full title of the document is Design of Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls and Reinforced Soil Slopes and it was authored by Ryan R. Berg, P.E.; Barry R. Christopher, Ph.D., P.E. and Naresh C. Samtani, Ph.D., P.E. Find the abstract and download link below. As time permits, I’ll try to post more about some of the changes in this important geotechnical publication.
