Abstract

In this paper, land subsidence which is caused by groundwater level drop in the Qazvin Plaine, has been investigated. Initially, subsidence was simulated by numerical analysis methods such as the finite element method using the PLAXIS geotechnical software. Numerical simulations were modelled based on hydrogeological information and groundwater level changes provided by the Iran Water Resources Basic Studies Office and geotechnical information obtained from the Geological Survey of Iran. The results were compared with satellite images. Then the subsidence rate in the forthcoming years was predicted according to different scenarios of water level changes over a ten-year period.
