Showing papers on "Groundwater-related subsidence published in 1989"
TL;DR: Land subsidence caused by man-induced depressuring of underground reservoirs has occurred in at least nine urban areas in the United States, and significant efforts to control it have been made in three areas: Long Beach, California; Houston-Galveston, Texas; and Santa Clara Valley, California as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model is proposed to assess the slope stability under the influence of subsidence due to underground longwall mining in hilly regions, where the triggering force which causes the top soil to slide is the stress field induced during the ground subsidence process, and the displacement and deformation of the bedrock could be accurately predicted by the probability function integration method assuming a level surface.

TL;DR: The study of subsidence has resulted in understanding, but not complete control over the processes of compaction and subsidence as mentioned in this paper, which has led to extensive damage due to ground sinking and horizontal movement.
Abstract: Areas of land subsidence are present throughout the world. Production of fluids from aquifers and petroleum reservoirs has caused extensive damage due to ground sinking and horizontal movement. The study of subsidence has resulted in understanding, but not complete control over the processes of compaction and subsidence. Restoration or maintenance of subsurface pressures has usually resulted in the elimination of the subsidence hazard.

TL;DR: The relationship between local gravity variation and vertical deformation of the crust associated with groundwater is discussed in this article, where a correction for ground surface subsidence due to changes in the deep groundwater level (pore pressure) was found in the Tianjin area before the Tangshan Earthquake.
