(OP)
Would a diaphragm be economical for a partial basement? Land is sloped and surrounded by neighboring buildings.

RE: partial basement of a transport terminal

I would suggest you provide more descriptive information for your problem. Also uploading a sketch would help.

RE: partial basement of a transport terminal

If we're talking about less than one full story below grade, then I'd say no, it's probably not efficient. The conventional solution would be regular CIP basement walls capable of performing the retaining function. How deep are you going? Your other post on this led me to believe that this was a deep basement project.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
