The two types of wall (bolted and berlinese) are built to retain soil from excavation, and possibly provide a sealing and foundations for a structure.
|
|
In this technique, parts of the retaining wall (soldier piles, cast-in-place or precast columns) taking the passive earth pressure (at the toe) and the active earth pressure (multiple tie-backs or struts) are built before excavation commences.
When these are in place, excavation proceeds in stages (one to a few metres deep, depending on the stand-up time of the soil). Struts or ground anchors are immediately installed on the soldiers previously built, and sheeting is placed against the exposed soil faces.
Several stages of excavation may be necessary (there are cases of six rows of tie-backs). The sheeting spanning between the soldiers may be made of precast concrete slabs, wood timbers, steel beams or shotcrete.
The generic name of Berlin wall comes from the fact that the technique has been widely used in that city. There, the soldiers were steel beams, usually installed in boreholes a few metres apart. The system was mostly used as a temporary support of excavations.
|
|
The soldier pile wall is a temporary or permanent retaining wall commonly
used for excavations in urban areas.
The method consists of :
Drilling regularly spaced boreholes in which metal beams are sunk
Installing cladding (wood, shotcrete, steel plates) between the beams as the excavation
progresses
The stability of the retaining wall is temporarily provided by struts or anchors except in shallow
excavations where the wall may be self-supporting.
|
|
The nailed retaining wall is the archetype of light, flexible shoring combined with the terrain.
This shoring relies essentially on the stabilising capacity of the nails combined with a containment skin in shotcrete.
Excavation is performed in successive top down stages with immediate implementation of the nails and shotcrete.

PRECASTING OF PANELS
The panels are made of reinforced or prestressed concrete.
Precasting is done in an industrial process; manufacturing of heavy panels of 40 tonnes is commonly achieved.
Whenever possible, the precast factory is installed on the site. If this is not feasible, the panels are brought on trailers from an outside precasting yard.

Various types of equipment can be used, depending on the ground conditions and the project: kelly-mounted or hang grab, KS 3000 or Hydrofraise. The widths can vary from 0.52 to 1.52m : standard widths are 0.62, 0.82, 1.02 m.
Depths of 35 to 50 m are commonly achieved. The Hydrofraise can reach 150 m.
Operations generally proceed with adjacent primary and secondary panels.
The length of panels may vary from 3 to 20 m : 5 to 6 m is the common average size.
JOINTS: In most cases, use is made either of stop-end casings or Stopsol-type joints which are withdrawn once concreting of the primary panel is completed or CWS-type joints with lateral withdrawing. With the Hydrofraise, it is also possible to dig short secondary panels with the cutters biting in the concrete of the adjacent primary panels, thus making a direct concrete to concrete joint.

Continuous reinforced concrete core walls are vertical walls made in spans of up to 7 metres in length and thicknesses between 0.45 and 1.50 metres, and depths of up to 70 m, and offer a solution to excavation difficulties in urban areas or around the water table level.
To install core walls in the ground, mechanically-driven grab buckets are used with weight ratings of between 5 and 23 Tons and grab openings of between 2.60 and 4.20 metres. This type of grab bucket can be adapted to practically any type of soil and depth.
To install core walls on rocks, excavation techniques and plant is used for thicknesses of 0.60, 0.80, 1.00 and 1.20 metres and depths of up to 60 metres.
They are used in a large number of projects (bearing structures, provisional or definitive retaining walls, etc.) and represent a solution to different problems such as the excavation of buried structures such as underground car parks and basements, subways, etc., to the creation of subsoil waterproofing in loose material dams.

The CDW (Continuous Diaphragm Wall) system is based on equipment that allows cutting a slot in the soil by means of a cutting module, and its immediate filling with concrete. The cutting module has the thickness and the length as set by the project.
The wall installed through a continuous working cycle (excavation and filling) and therefore - thanks to construction times that are thoroughly active - industrial productions are considerably higher compared to those obtained by means of traditional techniques.The particular system adopted to discharge the waste material, which is not polluted with the presence of mud, contributes in making the whole working area extremely clean.

Secant pile walls comprise a series of interlocking (secanted) piles to form an essentially watertight wall. This system will be used where dry basement structures are to be built in water bearing ground and where maximum of floor space is to be released. The technique is frequently used (as are contiguous pile walls) on confined city sites as part of the 'top down' construction method of building basements and superstructures where the ground and below ground floors give structural support to the walls in both temporary and permanent build stages.

Berliner walls
Definition:
consistent wall of::
profiled vertical (piles or metal section)
wood shielding, prédalles or shotcrete
Characteristics:
only retained ground
only possible if the water level is lower than the level of earthwork
ground must have temporary cohesion to excavate and place the shielding.
without anchoring, displacement at the head considerable (plusieures cm) necessary pourque the passive resistance is formed.
possible ground excavation depending on the technique
Scope of application:
ground reserve (without sheet of water on the height of excavation
economic solution

|
Definition:
reinforcement of the cut ground progressively of its excavation by the installation of passive bars. To prevent that the ground does not run out between the bars a facing generally made up one places of a treuillis and a shotcrete
Characteristics:
excavation in phases (1 with 1.5m excavation, installation of the nails, shotcrete, excavation 1 with 1.5m, installation of the nails, etc)
displacement minimal at the head of the wall is equal to 2promille height of the maximum excavation. Displacement is inevitable to introduce friction into the passive nails.
without vibrations
method calculated like wall of weight (standard "Clouterre")
Scope of application:
reinforcement of the existing taluds
realization of the higher and/or stiffer slopes
limited to the sites except ground water
unusable in grounds non-cohesive short-term

Definition:
walls in piles either independent, or tangent, or secant.
The piles can be installed according to the techniques following:
piles independent: all techniques
piles tangent: CFA, GCV, GCV lambda, drilled piles of large diameter, piles double rotation
secant piles: drilled piles of large diameter, piles doubles rotation
Characteristics:
piles independent and tangent: only retained ground. Level of water must be lower than the level of excavation
secant piles: reserve of water and grounds
secant piles: traditionally only one pile out of two is armed (pious sécundaires)
considerable bearing load
no the horizontal reinforcement, it is necessary to envisage a beam of distribution
Scope of application:
when should be crossed obstacles (masoneries, rocks, concrete)
excavations of irregular size (walls in piles are more adaptable than slurry trench walls)
excavations of limited size.
cilindric rigidity in excavations circular limits the quantity of steel

The process COATING PANOGRIL® consists in equipping with the concrete walls reinforced by panels out of steel fabrics galvanized with a mineral filling.
The formed facing of panels out of steel fabric is fixed on the wall support out of concrete reinforced via crutches with connection.
Space between the wall support and the facing out of lattice, is 20 to 50 cm thickness, is filled of stones, rollers of features compatible with the use in gabions.
Field of application: coating by mineral filling (stones, rollers,...) walls reinforced concrete, buildings, walls of face, wing walls, curtains of piles, returned of type "gabions".
Advantages:
- Simplicity of implementation by the simplicity of fixings, the assembly and the filling
- Esthetics of the standard mineral facing "gabions" for walls concrete
