Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the ground response due to diaphragm wall construction using three-dimensional numerical modelling. The commercial finite difference method software, FLAC3D is employed in this study. This study investigates the influence of diaphragm wall panel dimensions on soil movement. In addition, a series of diaphragm wall panel constructions are also discussed. The results obtained indicate that the above factors do have influence on ground response in terms of displacements. The discussion in the paper can be utilized as the reference for practical designs.
