Abstract

State-of-the-arts in the study of urban land subsidence in our country, including its occurrence mechanism, prediction and control have been reviewed in recent years. The land subsidence is a geological hazard with a reduction of regional elevation owing to the compact of soil which is given rise to the natural and human factors. It is found that the engineering construction is getting more and more impact on land subsidence. The relationship between the construction characteristics, such as the size of buildings, the volume ratio and the degree of dispersion, and land subsidence was revealed, which is helpful to the environmental protection and the sustained development of the city.
