โตDiaphargm walls Or Slurry Walls!!
โตHow Diaphramgm Walls Cosntructed!!
#diaphragm walls are commonly used in #projects such as #deep #basements, underground #parking #structures, #tunnels, deep #shafts, and #waterfront structures where #groundwater control and #structural #stability are #crucial.

The construction of a diaphragm wall involves the following steps:
โตExcavation: A #trench is excavated using special #equipment, such as a #hydraulic grab or #clamshell bucket, to cut through #soil or #rock. The dimensions of the trench can vary depending on the project requirements.

โถSlurry Support: As the trench is excavated, a #slurry #mixture is continuously pumped into the trench to support the walls and prevent cave-ins. Slurry is typically a mixture of water&bentonite clay, creates a stable suspension.

โทReinforcement Placement: Steel reinforcement cages are inserted into the trench at regular intervals, usually extending to the full depth of the wall. Reinforcement cages provide structural strength to the diaphragm wall.

โธConcrete Placement: Once the reinforcement cages are in place, concrete is poured into the trench, displacing the slurry. The concrete fills the trench, encasing the reinforcement cages and forming a solid, continuous wall.

โนTremie Method: The concrete is usually placed using the tremie method. A tremie pipe is inserted into the slurry at the bottom of the trench, and the concrete is poured through the pipe. As the concrete fills the trench, the slurry is displaced upwards and out of the trench.

โบWall Panel Formation: The diaphragm wall is constructed in individual panels, with adjacent panels being constructed side by side. This results in a continuous wall without any joints between the panels, providing structural integrity and water tightness.

โปCuring: After the concrete is placed, it undergoes a curing period to gain strength. The curing time can vary depending on the project specifications and the type of concrete used.
