Title:
Impact of Ground Water Flow on design of Open Underground excavation

Abstract:
Authors; Heman Manchanda and Sandeep Sharma
Several infrastructure projects are various stages of construction and planning in India and almost all of them involves open ground excavation extending to varying
depths. These structures are generally multipurpose and fulfil several needs of the society, their failure can be catastrophic. The design and construction of deep
open excavations is generally associated with a high level of risks due to a whole series of uncertainties involved, and the success of such projects depends on
various factors including appropriate evaluation of ground behavior and response to excavation stages, correct choice and analysis of construction supports, control
of ground water flow during excavation, etc.
One of the most critical amongst all these is ground water flow during construction and stability of underground excavation depends to a large extent on ground
water control. This paper uses numerical studies for the assessment of the potential impact of ground water and ground water movement for the design of
underground deep structures. The studies are being conducted using PLAXIS 2D finite element software and analysis all construction stages to which an open
underground excavation shall be subjected. The paper discussed in detail the impact of water table fluctuations and comparative evaluation of different water
flow conditions – a) Different Stages of excavation in line with the construction sequence (Phreatic), b) Coupled flow analysis (Transient- 1 year and 2-year
duration) and c) Steady state flow conditions. The paper also covers seepage calculation and design of dewatering system.
