Abstract: Having the advantages of high efficiency; short construction period and high reliability, the slurry wall is widely used in the deep excavation support, basement for building structures, underground shopping centers, parking lots, oil storage facilities, deeply embedded foundation for the highraised buildings as well as supporting structures for the topdown constructions. Various types of construction joints have been developed to meet the different requirements in the wider and wider applications. This paper presents the applications of various construction joints under different subsurface conditions and construction methods. It is concluded that various construction joints can have significant impact on the integrity, deformation and seepage performance of the slurry walls. They have further affect the construction cost.
