3D settlement analysis using GIS and FEM A case study in Sliedrecht area the Netherlands
conference paper
A comparative regional settlement analysis is presented in this paper by using 3D Geosciences Information System (GIS) and 3D finite element analysis (midas GTS) approaches for the Sliedrecht area, Netherlands. For settlement analysis in GIS, Koppejan Formula is used. The compressibility coefficient involved in the formula has been determined based on the cone resistance values. Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model was adopted in nonlinear analysis for the needs of 3D finite element analysis. The results obtained from the GIS analysis are on average comparable to those of 3D finite element analysis. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
