Toe Kickouts of Diaphragm Wall

Toe Kickouts of Diaphragm Wall

Toe Kickouts of Diaphragm Wall

(OP)
In Diaphragm Wall analysis by FEM methods we found that Toe Kickout's are occuring giving significant movements.
Is this phenomenon has any impact on construction of Diaphragm wall and its further stability.
Please provide some suitable references on case studies of Toe Kickouts if available.
Thanks

RE: Toe Kickouts of Diaphragm Wall

Sounds like you may need to place your anchors a bit more tightly spaced; and try and get one near the toe. How deep is your toe? Also, 1) what thickness wall have you used? 2) Did you use cracked concrete properties. 3) What is your criteria for "significant movement"?

Do you have a section cut of what you are trying to model?
