Abstract

The construction of diaphragm walls requires a high level of technical experience to cope with one of the most challenging tasks in geotechnical engineering, the interlock of discreet panels to a continuous wall. The joint inspector is a new tool that supports the quality check of diaphragm walls during construction by providing real-time data to initiate corrective actions during construction, if necessary.
