| Summary: | <p>We report preliminary results of physical experiments
of rupture occurrence and propagation associated with land subsidence
driven by groundwater pumping and compare our analogue model results with
corresponding previously reported numerical results. In particular, we aim
to test the development of tensile stresses above a bedrock ridge that forms the base of an aquifer system. The experiment reproduces the main
deformation and ruptures observed in field cases and in the numerical
analysis.</p> |
