Division of Water-bearing Zones and Compressible Layers in Beijing's Land Subsidence Areas

Based on regional studies of the hydrogeological and engineering geological conditions and present situation of land subsidence of the Beijing plain area,and in combination with data of hydrogeology, drilling and soil mechanics experiments in typical land subsidence areas,this paper presents for the first time a division of water-bearing zones and compressible layers in the area,which may serve as an important reference for the construction of the land subsidence monitoring network and land subsidence prewarning and predicting system of the capital.
