Abstract:By April 2016, over 20mm area of the land subsidence in Binzhou reached 2881km2, which is about 30% of the total. From May 2005 to April 2016, the cumulative subsidence of whole Boxing, Bincheng are more than 100mm. The subsidence center of Bincheng has reached 392mm, while it is 667mm in Boxing. The land subsidence in Binzhou city is becoming more and more serious. In order to find out the current situation and the causes of land subsidence, through land subsidence measurement, groundwater level monitoring, drilling sampling, testing and analysis, groundwater survey and other methods, comparing secondclass leveling data and water level data in May 2005, August 2008, September 2012, October 2014, May 2015 and April 2016, from the aspects of points, lines and surfaces, accumulating settlement amount and settlement rate have been analyzed. From the aspects of geological characteristics, the formation structures and the mechanical properties of hydrogeological units, including the piedmont alluvial plain, the flood plain hydrogeological unit area, and the the Yellow River hydrogeological unit, the current situation and evolution characteristics of land subsidence in Binzhou city have been found. The conclusion reveals that the excessive extraction of groundwater and larger compressibility of strata structure are the two major factors which will affect land subsidence in this area.
