Spatial modeling of ground subsidence susceptibility along Al-Shamal train pathway in Saudi Arabia

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2021
Al-Shamal train pathway, which is extended between Saudi Arabia and Jordan, is prone to geo-hazards due to the geological features, proximity to faults, earthquake epicenter, and the human activities along the pathway. The objectives of this study are to

Dewatering Preloading Test and Ground Subsidence in a Project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ground subsidence is one of the main geological hazards in Shanghai. The ground subsidence is caused by pumping groundwater greatly. In the past, studies of ground subsidence in Shanghai were mostly taken for the ground subsidence caused by pumping ...

Regional subsidence modelling in Murcia city (SE Spain) using 1-D vertical finite element analysis and 2-D interpolation of ground surface displacements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Subsidence is a hazard that may have natural or anthropogenic origin causing important economic losses. The area of Murcia city (SE Spain) has been affected by subsidence due to groundwater overexploitation since the year 1992.

Physical modeling of buried PVC pipes overlying localized ground subsidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The last half-century has witnessed a proliferation in the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes in civil engineering applications. However, little physical data are available to date to assess conformance with performance limits of these pipes subjected

PSI and GNSS derived ground subsidence detection in the UNESCO Heritage City of Ahmedabad, Western India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Presently, ground subsidence in urban areas is becoming a peril to the infrastructure and society. In this study, we conducted a detailed analysis of the results, based on the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI), Global Navigation Satellite System (

Fault control of subsidence, Houston, Texas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
p. 203-214.The author describes how land subsidence in Harris and Galveston Counties results primarily from ground-water production. The two-county area is interlaced with active surface faults with topographic escarpments and surface faults with no ...

Characteristics of Rebound Deformation Caused by Groundwater Level Recovery: A Case Study of the Yuhuazhai Area in Xi’an, China

open access: yesApplied Sciences
A rise in the water level may result in different vertical rebound levels of the ground surface, adversely affecting buildings. Ground rebound occurred in the Xi’an Yuhuazhai area from 2018 to 2019, but the soil’s deformation characteristics remain ...

Different scale land subsidence and ground fissure monitoring with multiple InSAR techniques over Fenwei basin, China [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
Fenwei basin, China, composed by several sub-basins, has been suffering severe geo-hazards in last 60 years, including large scale land subsidence and small scale ground fissure, which caused serious infrastructure damages and property losses. In this

Hydrologic control on natural land subsidence in the shallow coastal aquifer of the Ravenna coast, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Multiple processes contributing to natural land subsidence in a shallow coastal aquifer near Ravenna (Italy) were identified by analysing the relationships among different data set time series (water table level, rainfall, land reclamation drainage, sea ...
