Abstract

AN EXAMPLE OF THE APPLICATION OF A FILTRATION MODEL TO THE PREDICTION OF THE INFLUENCE OF A DEEP-FOUNDED BUILDING ON GROUNDWATER LEVEL CHANGESAbstract. Nowadays, for economical aspect, most of large cubature objects are constructed with underground storeys or car park areas. During the planning phase, it is important to design an optimal, economical and safe dewatering system and technical solutions aimed to eliminate the influence of underground structure on groundwater levels in the neighbourhood. Mathematical modelling of groundwater filtration allows creating a prognosis of excavation dewatering process and influence of new buildings on groundwater levels in subject areas during both execution and operation of structure. The paper presents an example of groundwater filtration modelling for a shopping mall in the centre of Budapest, using SPRING software. The project includes the construction of a large building with an underground story for cars. With filtration models, it was possible to assess the changes in groundwater flow fields caused by projected structure and its excavation dewatering system and the prognosis of groundwater levels around the building, taking into consideration the influence of the flood wave from the Danube on groundwater filtration in the investment area. Based on modelling results the suitable technical solutions were proposed, which allow limiting the effect on the surrounding buildings and the potential changes of water levels in the investment area.
