DIAPHRAGM WALLS

Can anyone suggest some good websites/references having detailed information about design and construction of diaphragm walls?

Thanks for the help

RE: DIAPHRAGM WALLS

Solid overview of construction (light on design):
"Earth Retention Systems Hndbk" by Al Macnab (2002) McGraw-Hill

Comprehensive, but slightly dated:
"Slurry Walls" by Petros Xanthakos (1979) McGraw-Hill

Also:
"Foundation Engr Handbk" Edited by Fang (1991) Van Nostrand

I was in the business for a few years and the Xanthakos book is still the best.  Check on Amazon.

Engineering is the art of not constructing...of doing that well with one dollar what any bungler can do well with two after a fashion.
