TECHNOLOGY II

CHAPTER 2
PRELIMINARY WORKS
2.3 Remedies
 Diaphragm Wall
 A retaining wall
 To form the perimeter wall of a basement
structure
 To act as a cut off wall from river
 To retain large masses of soil such as the
sidewall of a road underpass
2.3 Remedies (Cont’d)
 Advantages of diaphragm wall
 Final wall can be designed & constructed as the
required wall
 Can be constructed before the bulk excavation
takes place thus eliminating the need for
temporary works
 Construction methods of the wall are relatively
quiet & has little or no vibration
 Work can be carried out immediately adjacent
to an existing structure
2.3 Remedies (Cont’d)
 Advantages of diaphragm wall
 May be designed to resist vertical & horizontal
forces
 Walls are watertight when constructed &
virtually any plan shape is possible
 An economic method for the construction of
basement or retaining walls
2.3 Remedies (Cont’d)
 Methods of construction for diaphragm wall
 Touching or interlocking bored piles
 Excavation of trench using bentonite slurry
method
