Abstract:Reliable predictions of the seasonal high
groundwater table (SHGWT) at potential
construction sites are critical for roadway
designs. Maximum SHGWT levels can affect the
construction and maintenance of roads, and
the design and operation of stormwater ponds.
If the SHGWT is underpredicted, high water
levels can shorten a facility’s service life. If
the water table rises higher than predicted
and interacts with and weakens the roadway
base, for example, premature rutting can
occur. Conversely, overpredicting the SHGWT
can result in overly conservative and expensive
designs. Accurate predictions optimize the
cost of design and the service life of the
facility.
