Dynamic variation characteristics of layered monitored land subsidence near a fast railway line
Abstract. The fast railway line B is a high-speed railway passenger passageway in Beijing, with a total length of 40.75 km. In the plain area, the railway passes through the land subsidence area of Beijing from south to north, which poses a certain threat to the normal operation of a high-speed railway. Using layered monitoring data for the period 2009–2014 from station A, this paper analyses dynamic changes in the annual subsidence rate and the rate and percentage of soil deformation at different depths, as well as the compression deformation law of soil with different lithology and depth with the change of the water level. The results show that (1) since 2012, the proportion of shallow-layer (≤82 m) compression and settlement contribution has gradually decreased, while the proportion of deep-layer (> 82 m) compression has significantly increased; (2) during the deformation process of layered soil, the amount of compression is closely related to the change of groundwater level; and (3) the shallow, middle and deep strata show obvious viscoelastic–plastic deformation characteristics on the whole.
