Some examples of the types of ground subsidence, and how they are affected or produced by geologic conditions are explained below. Withdrawal of pore fluids, usually groundwater, is a common cause of ground subsidence.

One of the examples of liquefaction occur- rence can be seen in Fig. 3, in which the house experi- enced ground subsidence due to liquefaction and became ... Understanding the variation of...

The most prominent example is an M = 3.4 event induced in 2006 by the stimulation of a geothermal reservoir below the city of Basel, Switzerland, at a depth of about 5000 m (Häring et al., 2008). Thousands of smaller shocks were recorded afterward, leading insurance companies to claim over 7 million euros in damage.

The document discusses the effects of different earthquake hazards including ground shaking, ground rupture, tsunami, liquefaction, and earthquake induced landslide and ground subsidence. It provides definitions and examples of each hazard. The document is intended to help learners understand and analyze the impacts of various earthquake hazards.

Land subsidence can occur in various ways during an earthquake. Large areas of land can subside drastically during an earthquake because of offset along fault lines. Land subsidence can also occur as a result of settling and compacting of unconsolidated sediment from the shaking of …

Earthquake-induced ground effects are mainly landslides, soil liquefaction, surface faulting, and ground subsidence. They can affect an area with damage related to the full collapse or loss in functionality of facilities, roads, pipelines, and other lifelines.

2018年2月8日 · When the liquefaction settles and dries, subsidence may occur where the liquefaction has been ejected from the ground. Later the dried silt may become a further hazard to those with respiratory illnesses as the fine particles are picked up by the wind as a pervasive dust.

There are numerous artificial and natural causes for ground subsidence, from dissolution and removal of evaporite deposits in the East, to collapse of underground coal seams and mines in the Midwest, to growth faults in the South, to subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal in the West.

1999年8月3日 · Estuaries and low-elevation freshwater lakes on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, provide a record of episodic land subsidence, tsunami inundation, and intertidal...

In this paper, to clarify the effect of earthquake-induced settlement of clay layer on the ground subsidence, firstly the settlement-time relations for the separate layers in the ground which measurement was started from one year before the earthquake are shown and the effects of the earthquake on the settlement of clay layer are investigated.
