Changes in the Ecological Condition of a Territory at the Construction of Buildings with a Deep Foundation under Various Geological Conditions in Moscow

Abstract

Mathematical modeling was used to identify zones with different magnitudes of the barrage effect on the construction of buildings with deep-laid foundation in the Moscow region. Assessment of the barrage effect should take into account not only the magnitude of the groundwater flow but its level position relative to the earth’s surface. If the groundwater level (GWL) is located at a considerable depth, even deep-laid foundations of a building under construction and, accordingly, a substantial rise in groundwater table will not result in a critical situation whereby the foundations of neighboring buildings are submerged and the bearing capacity of the soil under the foundations is changed. Analysis of the geological data and the calculations that were carried out made it possible to establish the distribution of barrage effect values in Moscow.
