Summary:To meet the requirements of foundation bearing capacity, end bearing piles are adopted by most of the Sluices built on soft soil foundations. However, after the completion of the sluice, there will be settlements on both sides of the backfill, which will result in base cavity, form water seepage channels, and endanger the buildings and dams. In this paper, a new steel sheet pile diaphragm wall scheme is proposed to resit seepages under this situation. Steel sheet pile diaphragm walls are disposed on the river side of the building and connected with the chamber floor to prevent wound infiltration and sliding sideways. The practical results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
