- Description
- The purpose of this research is to investigate the ground response due to diaphragm wall construction using three-dimensional numerical modelling. In this study, the commercial finite difference method software, FLAC3D, and the finite element upper and lower bound limit analysis methods are employed. In addition, a range of factors are investigated. They include the dimensions of the single panel, overconsolidation ration (OCR), soil stiffness (E/su), and the height of the bentonite slurry. The solutions from the numerical upper bound limit analysis method are used for comparison purposes. The results obtained indicate that the above factors do have influence on ground response in terms of its stability and displacements. The discussion in the paper can be utilised as the reference for practical designs.
