3 Outline of the presentation Boundary condition for diaphragm wall: implementation and validation San Cosme station and parameter determination Modelling one panel: sensitivity analysis Modelling an entire diaphragm wall: comparison with in situ measurements Conclusions

4 Implementation of the boundary condition Literature review (Ng y Yan, 1998; Gourvenec & Powrie, 1999; Schaffer y Triantafyllidis, 2006) : Guide wall construction is not taken into account Excavation under bentonite slurry support is reproduced by retiring the elements included in the volume of the panel and applying the hydrostatic pressure (total stresses and null flux) Fresh concrete is reproduced by a bilinear hydrostatic boundary condition Hardening of concrete is reproduced by replacement of the panel volume by new elements with hard concrete parameters. The bilinear hydrostatic boundary condition is desactivated Installation Function: protection of existing structures Impermeabilization Stiffening

33 Concluding remarks Diaphragm wall installation in soft soils may produce settlement in its neighbourhood. Numerical models may help to quantify and understand the problem. Three settlement phases were distinguished during the installation of a panel: Settlement during excavation under bentonite support Heave during injection of concrete Settlement during hardening of concrete Design parameters were classified by order of importance: The length of the panel The bentonite level during excavation The width of the panel The depth of the panel 3D effects were shown to be very important A good agreement between measured and simulated settlements was achieved Model limitations: soil-wall interface & concrete hardening
