Abstract

Underground structures act as impervious obstacles and modify the groundwater flow pattern. Such structures below the groundwater table affect the hydrodynamic parameters of the aquifers and they disturb the mass balance of the flow system. The main adverse effects change in groundwater level, flow path, and flow velocity. The altered flow velocity leads to re-arrangement of soil particles and variation in the groundwater table. The effect of pile foundations on the groundwater flow pattern was investigated. Numerical simulations using the finite element method were undertaken to this effect. Using the data from the laboratory tests, the finite element model was validated. With the validated finite element model, the influence of various participating parameters was studied. Remedial measures to mitigate the effect of underground structures on the groundwater flow pattern are suggested.
