Why Use Diaphragm Walls?
Improved Control Ground Loss During Wall Construction
Improved Control Adjacent Ground Movements During Mass Excavation and Load Transfer
Control Groundwater Infiltration
To Serve as Final Walls and Load Bearing Elements
Alternatives such as T-Panels and Post Tensioning
Concrete Diaphragm Walls
Advantages Temporary and Perm. Groundwater Control
Less Vibration and Better Movement Control
Flexibility in Construction Sequence and Ground Conditions Accommodated
Limitations Work Area Needed
Cost
Specialized Equipment

Compatible with Weaker Rocks (Hydromill) Hard Clay, Chalk, Shale, Sandstone
Difficulties with Soils Containing Many Boulders
Difficulties where Slurry is Lost – e.g. Karst, Coarse Gravels
Typical Goals for a Diaphragm Wall
Use Slurry to Counterbalance Lateral Ground and Water Pressures and Provide Support to Limit Ground Loss During Wall Excavation and Placement

Typical Goals for a Diaphragm Wall
Use Slurry to Counterbalance Lateral Ground and Water Pressures and Provide Support to Limit Ground Loss During Wall Excavation and Placement
Place a Stiff Element in the Ground so that a Wider Support Spacing and a More Open Work Space are Possible

Diaphragm Walls and Water
Better than Other Conventional Walls Soldier Piles and Lagging Driven Sheet Piles
But Not Perfect, Shrinkage, Movement
Each Joint is a Potential Source of Leakage
Walls Flex and Joints Open and Close with Excavation and Filling
Can be Addressed with Special Joint Details

Slurry Walls Not Totally “Watertight”
Soil Between Walls Excavated and “Dry” Side Exposed to Changes in Temperature and Humidity
P = Primary SPTC Wall Panel
S = Secondary SPTC Wall Panel
Gaps Grows Larger Between Concrete and Steel Pile on Dry Side Due to Shrinkage of Concrete as it Dries and is Subjected to Large Temperature Fluctuations
Surface Cracking Develops in Response to Cyclic Drying and Cyclic Freeze-Thaw
Example of an Improved Joint

Diaphragm Wall Considerations
Panel Size Affects Ground Loss Affects Cost of Construction
Number and Types of Joints Affects “Water Tightness” Affects Load Transfer Between Panels
Support Spacing and Subgrade Soil Strength Overall System Stiffness Controls Ground Movements and Impacts on
Adjacent Structures

Summary
Diaphragm Walls a Competitive Alternative
Provides Enhanced Ground Loss Control During Wall Construction
Provides a Stiffer Support System to Better Control Ground Movements
Provides Improved Ground Water Control
Can Serve as Load Bearing Elements
Can be Reconfigured and Post-Tensioned for Greater Stiffness.
