Abstract

Immersion is an important part of reservoir engineering investigation and evaluation. Determining the reasonable and effective burial depth of the critical immersion water table is one of the key scientific issues in the impact assessment of the bearing capacity of reservoir immersion foundations. In this study, basic physical and mechanical property tests were carried out on the soil in the typical immersion area of Xiaonanhai Hydropower Station, and the influence mechanism of saturation on the mechanical properties of building foundation soil and immersion on the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation was obtained. According to the test results, the influence depth of the rising groundwater level on the stability of the building foundation is analyzed, and a method to determine the critical depth of immersion groundwater in the reservoir is proposed. Taking the typical building foundation of Luohuang Town in the immersion area of Xiaonanhai Reservoir as an example, the validity of the critical water depth is further verified. The results show that the safety limit depth of the independent foundation affected by the rise of the water table increases with the increase of the width of the foundation and decreases with the increase of the buried depth of the foundation. Considering the safety limit depth, the critical depth of building immersion is 4.830 m, and without considering the safety limit depth, the critical depth of building immersion is 4.05 m. To a certain extent, it can reduce the impact of water table changes on the bearing capacity of shallow foundations.
