Abstract

This paper presents the long-term settlement predictions of up to 3.5-m tall, 33-km long berms around the perimeter of five water regulation ponds at the perimeter of Lake Nabor Carrillo. Settlements due to the construction of the perimeter berms were performed using Settle3. Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the regional subsidence were performed using the Modified Cam-Clay constitutive model in FLAC3D. Because of the very soft ground conditions, the field investigation includes cone penetration tests, standard penetration tests with a sampling of undisturbed samples, and the installation of vibrating-wire piezometers. The predicted settlements were sensitive to the compressibility properties of soil and consistent with historical settlement monitoring results.
