Failure Analysis for Geo-Hydrologic Design
Groundwater abstractions may lead to structural failure of buildings due to the settlement of the subsurface. In order to set the probability of failure to a predefined acceptable level, a probabilistic procedure is proposed in this article. The procedure provides intervention levels for groundwater heads at which the extraction of groundwater should be reduced. As part of the procedure a Levenberg-Marquardt method, extended by a subspace regularization technique, calibrates a finite element method based groundwater model that simulates flow under natural conditions or at moderate extraction rates. The method provides expected values for geo-hydrologic parameters like transmissivity and flow resistance and expresses the parameter uncertainty in a covariance matrix. A first order reliability method uses these values and calculates the failure probability conditioned for a series of intervention levels. This paper outlines the procedure and presents the results of a verification test. A pumping test near Utrecht in the Netherlands is used to simulate a field scale application. The application shows that the procedure reduces the risk of failure to an acceptable level.
