Joints Between Panels of Concrete Slurry Walls
Joints Between Panels of Concrete Slurry Walls
(OP)
I am looking for recommended details of joints between individuals panels of concrete slurry walls.
The project involves 150 ft deep, 60 ft diameter shaft. Concrete slurry wall is one of the contemplated options. However joint integrity and prevention of groundwater from leaking into the shaft is a major concern. Any suggestions are welcome.

I do not know of any way to get a waterbar type seal reliably installed between the panels.

Ground freezing seems like another option, but that requires extensive instrumentation for refrigeration piping, and owner is reluctant to accept it.

If you ask your question on the foundation engineering forum, someone there may be able to help.
