LONG TERM SUBSIDENCE DUE TO FLUID EXTRACTION FROM A SATURATED, ANISOTROPIC, ELASTIC SOIL MASS

J. R. BOOKER and J. P. CARTER

( School of Civil and Mining Engineering, University of Sydney New South Wales 2006, Australia )

A closed-form solution is presented for the long-term deformation and excess pore pressures in a saturated, poroelastic half-space, caused by withdrawal of pore fluid at a constant rate from a point sink located at a finite depth below the surface. The soil is assumed to have isotropic elastic properties but is assumed to be transversely anisotropic with respect to its flow properties. Pore pressure and subsidence profiles have been evaluated for a number of practical cases.
