Due to the complexity of geology condition and the variability of soil
the soil parameters employed in calculation of ground subsideence are empirical values; they are usually uncertain. It is more serious for the calculation of ground subsidence of large scale area. Based on the Biot consolidation theory
numerical analysis and the FEM software –Adina
a land subsidence model of water withdrawal of single well is established; and the effects of sensitive parameters of ground subsidence during the water withdrawal and the appropriate parameters are determined.
