ABSTRACT
One of the problems with improving the stability of the structure during the construction of high-rise buildings on the territories adjacent to the sea or a river bed is to draw down the ground and seepage waters in the foundation, and solving this problem will help improve the stability of the structure in the final run. Aiming at solving this problem, a new structure of a three-stage combined drainage system was designed at Ts. Mirtskhulava Water Management Institute of Georgian Technical University (Georgian Patent #GE P2005, 3573 P) ensuring not only drawing down the ground water, but also regulating the surface and seepage waters in the building foundation. The goal of the study is to examine the water conductivity of the threestage combined drainage system to improve the building stability and develop the methods of its hydraulic calculations.
