Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall (Slurry wall)


Diaphragm wall (D-wall): A wall is created under the ground level Construction sequences: Soil excavation Temporary support of trench (panel) is provided by bentonite slurry Placement of reinforcement Concreteing Fields of application:

Retaining structure of (deep) excavations Side wall of underground levels of buildings Deep foundation (deep groundwater barrier)

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Excavation

Guide wall is built in advance Trench excavation (under bentonite slurry) Removal of previous end stop

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Conreteing


Inserting end stop placement of reinforcement Concreteing (under bentonite slurry, using tremie pipe) Excavation of subsequent panel

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Excavation


Excavation techniques:

mecahnical grab (clamshell)


cable hung kelly bar

hydraulic grab (clamshell) hydromill or hydrofraise

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Cable hung clam

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Hydraulic grab

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Excavation > Hydrofraise (for hard soils or rock)

Rotary drum cutters excavate the soil (or rock). The cuttings (and slurry) are removed through reverse circulation pumps. The cuttings are removed from the slurry in a desanding plant. Fresh (clean) slurry is added at the top of the trench.

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Excavation > Hydrofraise

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Bentonite slurry


Bentonite slurry: Mixture of water and bentonite (very fine particles, mostly montmorillonite) Density: 1.03-1.12 g/cm3 Role: Protection against groundwater inflow Trench wall support

Deep foundation > Diaphragm wall > Advantages - limitations


Advantages: flexible geometry high bearing capacity small settlements horizontal + vertical bearing capacity can be constructed under groundwater minimal dynamic effect multiple function (retaining structure during construction + foundation + side wall Limitations: Very stiff rock Very soft soils (trench stability problem; e.g. soft clay, organic material, liquefiable sand) Cavities Old building remains Utilities

Deep foundation > Well foundation > Advantages


Advantages: large diameter similar to piles, but shorter if large bearing capacity soil (rock) is between 3-7 m, it can be very effective if loads are not too large, but the upper 3-7 m of the soil is not appropriate, can be applied effectively
