Discrete piles can be used to increase the passive resistance in front of deep strutted walls. These piles can be installed using different improvement techniques such as deep soil mixing methods or using conventional pile drilling methods. In this research, Three dimensional finite element analyses is used to evaluate the effect of using discrete soil-crete piles on the behavior of deep strutted diaphragm wall. The parametric study includes different aspects of the discrete soil-crete piles including properties and arrangements
