DESIGN CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF A SLURRY TRENCH WALL NEXT TO FOUNDATIONS

This paper documents the design construction and performance of a tied-back retaining system constructed by the slurry trench method. The system was necessary to retain the sides of a deep cut in glacial till immediately adjacent to the heavily loaded foundations of historically important and, settlement sensitive structures. The slurry trench and surrounding structures were instrumented using settlement points, crack movement devices, horizontal measurement points, inclinometers and load cells. The soil investigation and design methods adopted are described.
