Abstract

The invention relates to a profiled connecting element with a constant cross-section for sheet pile wall components such as sheet piles, with a center strip (12) and two hook strips (20, 22) protruding from the two flat sides of the center strip (12) in opposite directions. The transitional sections (24) between the center strip and the hook strips transition in a curved manner into the flat sides (16, 18) of the center strip (12) and the free end sections (30) of the hook strips, together with the flat sides (16, 18) of the center strip (12), each define a jaw (32) for engaging an interlock (38) of the sheet pile wall component (36). The flat sides (16, 18) of the center strip (12) extend, beginning at the transitional sections (24), in the direction of the free end (34) of the center strip (12) at least in parts at a specified opening angle (.alpha.) toward each other such that the center strip (12) tapers off toward its free end (34) in this section. In addition, a sheet pile wall, comprised of several sheet piles, is provided, wherein at least two sheet piles are connected to each other through a profiled connecting element of the type described above.
