Basement and Retaining Walls

This document discusses different types of basement construction and waterproofing methods. It describes retaining wall and raft basements, as well as box and cellular raft basements. Piled basements are also mentioned. Excavation methods like perimeter trenching and complete excavation are covered. Regarding waterproofing, the use of dense monolithic concrete, tanking methods using asphalt or other membranes, and drained cavity systems are summarized. The document also provides descriptions of different types of retaining walls including gravity, pile, cantilever, and anchored walls.

WATERPROOFING OF BASEMENTS:

1) In Tanking Method objective is to provide


continuous Waterproof membrane which is applied
to the base slab and walls.
2) 20 MM thick Asphalt applied in Three coats to rough
concrete surface.
3) 30 MM CEMENT /SAND if required to ensure good
interface contact.
4) Half Brick or 100 mm block protective walling in cm
mortar(1:3)
5) Alternative to Mastic Asphalt are polythene
sheeting, bituminous compound, Epoxy Resin
compounds and Bitumen Laminates.

What is a Retaining Wall?
Types of retaining wall
Retaining Wall:

Every retaining wall supports a “wedge” of soil.


The wedge is defined as the soil which extends beyond
the failure plane of the soil type present at the wall site.

Pile retaining wall
In this type of retaining wall, piles are driven so deep into
the earth that the top force which usually tries to push the
wall over, is held back. It uses counter force to negate the
top force and keep it from tipping over. This wall is used in
temporary or permanent works as the piled walls provide
high stiffness retaining elements which afford large
excavation depths with almost no disturbance to
surrounding structures or properties.

Cantilever retaining walls
These walls are constructed of reinforced concrete. This
wall consists of a thin stem and base slab. The base of this
retaining wall is divided into two parts namely the heel and
the toe. The heel is a part of the base under the backfill.
This wall uses much less concrete than retaining walls but
it needs careful construction and design. It’s usually
economic till 25ft in height. And these walls can either be
precast in a factory or formed on the site.

Anchored retaining walls
For high retaining walls, deep cable rods or wires are driven
deep sideways into the earth, then the ends are filled
with concrete to provide an “anchor”. These are also known
as tiebacks. They work when a thinner retaining wall is
needed or space is limited to install other types of retaining
walls. They are very effective for loose soils over solid
rocks. Anchored retaining walls are usually employed in
lots of highways construction departments where they use
them to keep rocks from falling on the roads by accidents.
