Analysis of Foundation System of the Taj Mahal
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8660-3045
This paper confirms that the foundation system of the Taj Mahal consists of wells, arches and piers constructed from stone blocks, bricks, water tight mortar and some local materials. However, there is a dearth of construction information available for comparison between then and now. This paper has extracted data from available literature for conducting the forensic analysis of the Taj Mahal foundation wells. The foundation capacity is evaluated. The possible triggers for failure of foundation are discussed. Some techniques required to conserve the monument in the future are also discussed. The settlement of the foundation has already occurred as per previous research. Yet the Taj minarets continue to tilt outward. This paper concentrates on the present foundation bearing capacity considering the pile–raft action of the foundation which is inadequate. Air and river pollution can hasten the degradation of the foundation.
