INTRODUCTION.
A technical note to investigate the water seepage through the bored
cast in situ piles (1200mm dia) of the foundations belonging to the
Jamal Abdul Nasser Street/RA167 project, in the state of Kuwait.
It has been observed that in certain piles in the above mentioned
project, water is seeping through the piles at the cut off level. The
water was reportedly seeping through the interface between the
concrete and steel (permanent casing/rebar/sonic tube). All the piles
reported with this phenomena belongs to the same area, which is
identified as Sector H (Hospital Ramps).
This technical note attempts to investigate and explain the
phenomena along with suggesting solutions to avoid occurrence of
such issues in the future.
