In recent years, most countries in the Persian Gulf region have consistently faced heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding and waterlogging. In July 2022, the United Arab Emirates experienced intense rainfall, impacting its northern cities and causing both personal and property damage.
Oman endured several floods in 2021, 2022, and 2024, which led to various instances of missing persons and property loss. Saudi Arabia also faced floods in 2022 and 2023, resulting in building collapses and foundation subsidence.
In 2024, several countries in the Persian Gulf were affected by extreme rainfall, with significant floods occurring. The most impacted nations were Oman and the UAE, but Iran, Qatar, parts of Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain also suffered casualties and building damage due to flooding.
The damage caused by urban flooding due to heavy rains is not confined to human casualties and lost property; buildings also face various issues. The force of floodwaters can erode the shallow soil layers of building foundations, while saturation can weaken the mechanical properties of main structural materials, disrupting load-bearing capacities and causing uneven settlement.
Persistent heavy rain allows water to infiltrate the foundation soils, leading to increased moisture-induced deformation. Prolonged rainfall can alter the matric suction of foundation soils, reducing shear strength and resulting in various foundation problems.
