Prototype Test of Soil-Cement Shoring Walls for the Transbay Transit Center, San Francisco
The Cement Deep Soil Mixing (CDSM) method was selected to construct shoring walls for temporary support of deep excavations for the Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco. The CDSM method is also planned to be used for ground treatment to improve the strength characteristics of soils to depths up to 150 ft (45.7 m) to protect adjacent structures from the potential impacts of excavation-induced deformations. Because of the unprecedented depths of the anticipated CDSM treatment, a prototype test was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of the CDSM method to achieve the intended depths of treatment while maintaining the required quality in terms of strength, permeability, and continuity. This paper presents the results of the field tests, including the variation of soil-cement strengths and permeability.
