Abstract (en)

An underground water cutoff wall (10) comprises an underground wall (20) and a plurality of water cutoff sheets (30) made of an corrosion resistance material. The underground wall (20) comprises a binding material and an aggregate such as sand and pebbles taken by an excavator. The water cutoff sheets (30) are continuously embedded into the underground wall (20) in such a manner as to stop seepage of water. Each of the water cutoff sheets (30) is connected with the adjacent water cutoff sheet (30) through a joint portion (40) which is formed at the longitudinal side thereof. If necessary, the reinforcing elements (50) are embedded in the underground wall (20) along the water cutoff sheets (30). The underground water cutoff wall (10) of the present invention is constructed by the following method. That is, the ground is firstly evacuated to form an excavated ditch (61) therein. A mixture of the aggregate and a slurry of the binding material is cast into the excavated ditch (61) to form the underground wall (20). The water cutoff sheets (30) are inserted into the underground wall (20) until the mixture is not hardened. If necessary, the reinforcing elements (50) are also inserted into the underground wall (20) until the mixture is not hardened. Subsequently, the mixture is hardened. As a result, the underground water cutoff wall (10) has excellent corrosion resistance for stopping the seepage of water over a long time period. <IMAGE>
