In construction engineering, anti-flotation stability is a crucial part. Today we'll summarize a set of practical anti-flotation stability technical measures for you~Please forward the article first, then continue reading below



1. Give priority to consideration in the scheme design stage

  • Reduce the embedment depth of the underground structure:As a building-type solution,its cost is the lowest. By reasonably adjusting the embedment depth of the underground structure, the anti-flotation problem can be preliminarily addressed at the building layout level.

  • Actively increase the structural self-weight:This belongs to the structural-type solution,with relatively low cost. Simply put, it means "adding weight" to the building and relying on its own weight to enhance anti-flotation capacity.


2.Improvement of foundation base and surrounding soil

  • Improvement of foundation base and surrounding soil:This is a geotechnical-type solution with high flexibility. It can be used in combination with other anti-flotation measures or implemented alone, helping anti-flotation by improving the soil.


3. Measures to be adopted when conditions permit

  • Active control of groundwater:Not to be used alone. When conditions permit, groundwater can be regulated through methods such as sealing with a water-stop curtain and guiding with open or covered drainage channels to achieve anti-flotation.

  • Extended base slab method:To be adopted in combination with other schemes when conditions permit, extending the base slab to improve anti-flotation performance.

  • Utilizing existing support structures:To be adopted in combination with other schemes when conditions permit, using ready-made support structures to assist anti-flotation.

  • Stiffness increase method:To be adopted when conditions permit, but the strength of components needs to be checked and calculated, resisting buoyancy by enhancing structural stiffness.


4. Measures to be adopted after evaluation and comparison

  • Anti-flotation anchor method:To be adopted after evaluation and comparison, suitable for use in combination with natural foundations, using anchors to provide support for the building's anti-flotation.

  • Anti-flotation pile method:To be adopted after evaluation and comparison, suitable for use in combination with pile foundations, and the compressive capacity of anti-flotation piles should be utilized as much as possible.


5. Traditional and mixed types

  • Counterweight balancing method:A traditional scheme that needs to be adopted in combination with the above schemes and takes priority over anti-flotation components, but high-density materials should be used with caution.

  • Mixed method:The combined use of two or more anti-flotation measures, but note thatit is not recommended to use the counterweight balancing method together with anti-flotation components.


These anti-flotation stability technical measures provide fellow professionals with rich and professional ideas for anti-flotation work. You can choose appropriate combinations of measures according to actual engineering conditions~
