Effect of Groundwater Inundation on the Performance of Infrastructures
The high groundwater table due to inundation considered as a real threat and may increase the probability of potential damages for the infrastructures of the structures such as foundations and the materials beneath the ground surface, road and bridges. Besides bad and severe weather may have an adverse effect on such infrastructures. For that purpose, a laboratory model was constructed to measure and study the effect of different heights of groundwater level on an old bricks’ foundation in a silty clay soil (ordinary soil) and on a concrete foundation. Two parameters were taken in the consideration which were the height of groundwater level and the type of foundation materials. The results showed that there was a slight effect on the compressive load on old brick in silty clay soil between 0.8–1.3% while the decrease in compressive load was between 0.5–1.3% in concrete sample in same soil.
