Abstract: The groundwater level for uplift control directly affects the construction cost and the structure safety.This paper starts from the definition of the groundwater level for uplift control in the design code. Then, the paper presents a case history of determination of groundwater level for the uplift control in accordance with groundwater seepage relations. When a large area of high fills on the site, the effect of raising the groundwater level should be considered int eh design. Different groundwater level for the uplift control during construction and the service.

Key words: Geotechnical Investigation, Groundwater, Groundwater Level for Uplift Control
