Subsidence datas have reflected the condition of subsidence, the property of soil and surrounding environment in different construction period and in different places.The subsidence values have confirmed with the changes of surrounding environment very well. Timely and accurate monitoring datas have provide firsthand datas for reconnaissance, design and construction. It also avoided economic loss and social effects.
