Alamitos Gap: A Case Study Using The Trench Remixing And Deep Wall Method, Jeffrey C. Evans
Alamitos Gap: A Case Study Using The Trench Remixing And Deep Wall Method, Jeffrey C. Evans
International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering
The trench remixing and deep wall method (TRD) is a one-phase process for excavation and in situ mixing of a vertical barrier. While the TRD method was developed and has been widely employed in Japan for more than a decade, it has only recently been used in the United States. Since the TRD method mixes the entire depth of the vertical profile, this method can be used to construct a more homogeneous wall than other in situ methods. Using a large revolving chain and cutter bar, the TRD equipment simultaneously excavates and mixes in situ soils and added slurry resulting …
