Abstract

Specifies the execution of diaphragm walls and the practical aspects which must be taken into account in the production of the working drawings. Concerns: retaining walls - usually made to support the sides of an excavation in the ground, including: cast in situ concrete diaphragm walls; precast concrete diaphragm walls; and reinforced slurry walls. Also concerns cut-off diaphragm walls - usually made to prevent migration of groundwater, clear or polluted, or of other liquids present in the ground, including: slurry walls (possibly with membranes or sheetpiles); and plastic concrete walls.
