Abstract
The article discusses the main provisions for the protection of urban buildings from groundwater and the main causes of flooding of residential areas. Also known and proposed by us ways of solving the problem are analyzed. In recent years, intensive construction has been going on in areas that were previously considered unsuitable for construction: wetlands, floodplains of rivers and streams, ravines, etc. without deep study of changes in the hydrological regime of the adjacent territory. Activities are offered in flooded areas: elimination of the causes of flooding - channel lining; sealing of water pipes and collectors, installation of storm sewers; sealing of buried structures: basement walls, foundations; drainage - lowering groundwater to a safe depth. With our participation, a drainage system has been developed, with drainage water diversion to the floodplain of the Oka River.
Highlights
Among the priority tasks of urban construction, the need to protect housing from harmful environmental influences due to a sharp exacerbation of the ecological and hydrogeological situation [1,2], in particular due to the rise in the groundwater level, has been put forward [35, 7]
An intensive development of underground space is underway in urban construction
Residential buildings with underground garages in one and sometimes in two tiers are being built, basements of houses are being developed for commercial purposes, road junctions are being built at different levels, the construction of underground pedestrian crossings is continuing, a network of sewer collector tunnels and other structures buried under the surface of the earth is developing
Summary
Among the priority tasks of urban construction, the need to protect housing from harmful environmental influences due to a sharp exacerbation of the ecological and hydrogeological situation [1,2], in particular due to the rise in the groundwater level, has been put forward [35, 7]. Residential buildings with underground garages in one and sometimes in two tiers are being built, basements of houses are being developed for commercial purposes, road junctions are being built at different levels, the construction of underground pedestrian crossings is continuing, a network of sewer collector tunnels and other structures buried under the surface of the earth is developing. All these structures must be protected from the penetration of groundwater. Designers must solve the problem of flooding using the entire arsenal of tools - from the correct placement of residential buildings in the city to the choice of types of houses and utilities.
