Abstract

The water content and permeability of silt and silt strata are significant in cities of Southwest China, and the seepage of underground passages in cities is unavoidable, which affects normal operation. More serious situation may occur when large-scale water gushing phenomenon and obvious structural deformation appears. After long-term and repeated repairs, water cannot be sealed, and even causes surface subsidence and deformation, voids in ground soil, which cause severe social and economic impacts. Loss. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate effective water shutoff measures for specific seepage projects according to local conditions to ensure that groundwater seepage can be effectively solved or controlled. Taking an underground passage in a city as an example, this paper analyses the causes and characteristics of seepage diseases, explores the specific stratum conditions of seepage location and puts forward control measures. Through detection the effectiveness of the implementation of control measures are verified, which provides reference for the treatment of underground seepage in similar strata.
