American dams which had been remediated between 1975 and 2004 with a major cutoff of some type, while currently over half a billion dollars worth of deep concrete diaphragm walls are under contract in various major dams in the alone. Such cutoffs remain, of course, common features in the design and construction of new structures.

SoilCementBentonite (SCB) Slurry walls are a variation on the more common SoilBentonite slurry wall. In this method, the soils excavated from the trench are generally blended with bentonite and cement to provide additional strength to the final backfill.

Functions and Uses of Bentonite Slurry: Bentonite slurries are known to perform the following pivotal functions: a) Support the excavation by exerting hydrostatic pressure on its walls to prevent the collapse or retain an area. b) Remain in the excavation, and not flow to any great extent into the soil thereby acting as a sealant.

cement bentonite (CB) walls. Structural strength is generally specified using a 7 day unconfined strength test. Cement mixtures are generally used as the slurry and then allowed to harden eliminating the backfilling step. CB walls require more carefully timed construction methods from SB walls. Cement .

The following materials have been commonly specified and used: • bentonite, normally sodium exchanged, described as CE (civil engineering) grade; •

CementBentonite (CB) slurry walls represent a smaller and more specialized portion of the slurry walls installed in the US. Alternatively, in Europe and other international locales, CB slurry walls are the more common barrier wall choice. In this method, the wall is excavated through a slurry that typically consists of water, bentonite, cement ...

SOILBENTONITE (SB)cutoff walls are excavated in a continuous manner under bentonite slurry. The cutoff is keyed in most cases into an impervious stratum or bedrock. Impervious backfill is placed into the trench, displacing the slurry to form the completed cutoff. The backfill includes soils excavated from the trench and/or borrow materials. These
