A Study on the Settlement Character of High Fill Channels

The settlement of high fill channels has great influence on the structural stability of the impervious panels in the North Water Diversion Project. For the high fill channels, the settlement study on the filling body and water channel slope of the channels after the completion of the filling is systematically carried out. The study result shows that the post-settlement development law of the channels accord with the hyperbolic, the settlement of the slope is uneven, and the deformation and the deformation rate of the slope is mainly controlled by vertical settling.
