A combination pile wall is formed of beam elements (12), particularly
T-beams and double-T-beams (I-beams), and shaped connection strips (16)
directly or indirectly connecting the beam elements (12), whereby each
shaped connection strip (16) that is coupled directly with one of the
beam elements (12) is engaged with one of the locking elements (30)
formed on the respective beam element (12). The two mutually-engaged
locking elements (24, 26) of the shaped connection strip (16) and of the
beam element (12) are configured with a cross section such that the two
locking elements (24, 26) may pivot with respect to each other through an
angular range of a minimum .+-.3.degree. to a maximum .+-.10.degree..
