Geotechnical and Underground Engineering Problems Caused by Water Action

Key Points

• The research aims to explore geotechnical issues arising from water influence on soil and rock stability.
• Review of existing literature on geotechnical engineering and water action effects.
• Analysis of case studies illustrating water-induced disturbances in soil and rock.
• Field measurements of mechanical behavior in various water-related contexts.
• Identified significant impacts of water action on stability of rock and soil masses.
• Demonstrated correlation between water levels and mechanical behavior changes in soils.
• Reported prevalence of geotechnical failures linked to water disturbances in engineering projects.
