| Summary: | Critical infrastructures in Shanghai have undergone uneven settlement since
their operation, which plays an important role in affecting the security of
Shanghai. This paper, taking rail transportation as example, investigates
settlement characteristics and influencing factors of this linear
engineering, based on long-term settlement monitoring data. Results show
that rail settlement is related to geological conditions, regional ground
subsidence, surrounding construction activities and structural differences
in the rail systems. In order to effectively decrease the impact of regional
ground subsidence, a monitoring and early-warning mechanism for critical
infrastructure is established by the administrative department and
engineering operators, including monitoring network construction, settlement
monitoring, information sharing, settlement warning, and so on. |
