This study examines the in-situ lateral static load behavior of a closed-diaphragm wall foundation, aiming to better understand its load–displacement response, structural behavior, and soil interaction under horizontal loading. An in-situ static load test was conducted with a maximum applied load of 70 MN, revealing that the diaphragm wall initially exhibits a linear load–displacement response, which becomes increasingly nonlinear as the load increases. The horizontal displacement of the lateral walls is nearly identical to the overall displacement of the diaphragm wall, making it a reliable indicator of the wall’s load state, particularly when it is challenging to measure total displacement. The wall behaves as a rigid body with minimal relative displacement between sections, and overturning failure is identified as the primary failure mode. Earth pressure distribution varies around the wall: passive earth pressure is observed at the front edge, while active and passive pressures alternate at the rear edge. These findings provide valuable insights into the design of diaphragm wall foundations, emphasizing the importance of lateral displacements. |
