Spams: A New Empirical Model for Soft Soil Surface Displacement Based on Meteorological Input Data
10 Pages Posted: 4 Jul 2023
Abstract
We present SPAMS: Simple Parameterization for the Motion of Soils, a model which requires only four parameters to describe the motion of shallow soft soils. The model is accurate and creates estimates for the reversible and irreversible components of subsidence. It has been validated against in-situ data from five test sites in The Netherlands with different Holocene soil strata.
