Abstract text:

The paper describes the research made at the Orthodox Cathedral of Bacau, Romania, from the point of view of the water appeared in the basement and in the Civil Defense Shelter in the early 2007. The research used the results of two geotechnical profiles, which show bedding consisting of a packing layer of 2.00 m thick, a fine sedimentary horizon of 6.00 m thickness and a coarse sedimentary horizon at -8.00 m depth. Groundwater is quartered in the coarse sedimentary horizon, the latter ranging from 10.00 m to 11.00 m below the Natural Ground Elevation. After the presentation of sources from where water could come, the paper presents some water leak mitigation methods to be used at the Orthodox Cathedral of Bacău
