In the past decades, diaphragm slurry wall has been widely used for deep excavation in Taiwan. During trench excavation, slurry is required to maintain the stability. If the trench is in the soils with high permeability such as gravel, the slurry level cannot be maintained due to high filtration rate. It could cause construction problems or result in damages on adjacent buildings. This paper presents a trial test and its results. In the trial test, different additives were used during installation of five slurry wall panels; and the results showed that the additives (wood chips, fibers, clustered bentonite) of 4% by weight could effectively reduce the filtration rate.
