Abstract

Underground development project activities for structures located below existing level of groundwater can cause changes in hydro-geological conditions on the construction site and adjacent territories and lead to development of unfavourable engineering-geological processes. Article presents results of hydrogeological forecast at the construction site with foundation pit enclosed in diaphragm wall. To recreate existing hydrogeological conditions and to create accurate model, inverse problem was solved with a multivariate selection of the filtration parameters of the modeled system in such way that there was a satisfactory alignment of modeled groundwater levels and groundwater levels marked during well-drilling, and analytical data, acquired during analysis and compilation of existing hydrogeological data. Upon solution of inverse problem to replicate existing hydrogeological conditions on the model, a series of forecasting tasks was undertaken to assess the impact of planned construction on hydrogeological situation of the construction site and adjacent territories. Construction was modelled in a multi-variant setting for a completely impermeable diaphragm wall and a permeable diaphragm wall with coefficient of filtration of 0.005 m/day. It is advisable to provide a comprehensive hydrogeological and geotechnical forecast at the design stage as it helps to predict how changes in hydrogeological regime affect deformation behaviour of surrounding buildings.

Summary

Introduction

New development, there is often a need to create additional space. Planned construction activities can often lead to changes in existing hydrogeological conditions on the construction site and adjacent territory and, as a result, lead to development of adverse engineering-geological processes. In this situation, during design stage, it is necessary to consider possible changes of hydrogeological situation and to provide a set of measures, that would ensure normal conditions for the construction and operation of designed facilities on the one hand, and, on the other hand, would allow to minimize changes in existing hydro-geological conditions caused by the construction and operation of structures in the adjacent territory [1, 2]. Modern regulatory documents [1,2] regulate geotechnical forecast, which consists of hydrogeological forecast and geomechanical calculation and analytical work to determine the impact of construction project on adjacent buildings
