摘要:Floods are one of the common natural phenomena that can
cause a huge danger to people and building objects located in flood plains.
The particularly severe effects of such disasters are felt in heavily
urbanized areas [1, 2]. The development of river valleys causes difficulties
in the flow of flood water and the protective embankments limit the
possibility of the temporary accumulation of water. The consequence of
this situation is increasing the level of the flood wave and thereby
intensifying its negative impact.
Damages to the building during inundations can be the result of not only
the direct activity of the flood wave and surface water, but also changes in
groundwater flow conditions, including the increase of their piezometric
level [3, 4]. An increasing of groundwater pressure can intensify or initiate
new phenomena related to permeability (suffosion, colmatation, etc.) and
consequently conduce disadvantageous changes of soil substrate
parameters [5]. The influence of such processes can be revealed later, after
the floods stage recede. The local conditions of water flow and the ground
structure have a direct impact on the probability of occurrence of specific
phenomena threatening construction objects (initiated by floods).
