Predicting the critical drainage induced by soil seepage failure during pumping in foundation pit construction by Fuwei JIANG, Shujun TANG, Xiaofei DENG, Zhenchao LI, Fawang ZHANG, Hongyuan YIN

“…However, the critical pumping quantity is a key parameter for pumping safety in foundation pit construction and there is no effective method to calculate or test this parameter. Based on Darcy’s law and the equivalent infinitesimal formula, and the formula for calculating the permeability coefficient of pumping tests recommended by the specification for borehole pumping test of hydropower projects （NB/T 35103—2017）, this study deduced the expressions of critical pumping quantity of the seepage failure under four conditions, including submersible incomplete hole, submersible integral hole, confined water incomplete hole and confined water integral hole. …”
