About this document
Concrete Technology by Hugo Leite is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the waterproofing performance expectations of different types of embedded retaining walls used in basement construction. It notes that complete water tightness is unrealistic, and that diaphragm walls provide superior waterproofing to secant pile walls due to having fewer vertical joints. The paper emphasizes understanding construction methods and material specifications to optimize retaining wall performance according to project requirements. It also provides clarity on definitions
