Abstract

As summerised in Chap. 2, accidents and catastrophic basal failure associated with hydraulic uplift are reported worldwide from time to time (Milligan and Lo 1970; Moore and Longworth 1979; Ramaswamy 1979; Clough and Reed 1984; Davies 1984; Qu et al. 2002; Gue and Tan 2004). Concern on potential base instability due to hydraulic uplift is also raised in the case history reported in Chap. 3. In spite of the frequently encountered base instability due to hydraulic uplift, this subject has not been studied systematically and well understood. To assist with systematic study of this subject, dimensional analysis is carried out in this chapter to propose key variables (expressed in dimensionless groups) to be considered in this study.
