This paper introduces the calculation theory, method and process of the bearing capacity of steel members of sheet pile wharf based on European code, and compares them with Chinese code through an example. The results show that:1) Elastic model is used to calculate the bearing capacity of steel sheet piles in Chinese code, while plastic model can be used for calculation according to the section type in European code；2) The calculation of the bearing capacity of steel sheet piles with Class 2 section as per Chinese code is relative conservative compared to European code；3) The design value of internal force of steel members in European code can be determined by using comprehensive partial coefficient in accordance with Chinese code.
