S.., iS the <br />maximum possible subsidence over the center of the opening, .r is the <br />huriwnlal distance from the point of half-maximum subsidence, and J is <br />the distance between the point of half-maximum subsidence and the edge <br />of opening. Several profile functions have boon developed fur various caul <br />fields in the world (20). One of them, based on model and theoretical <br />invesdgatioru, iB <br />S ~)Sm„(1 - tanh(2r/B)) (9.4.2) <br />The unknown parameter 8 can be back-calculated from the measured <br />wbsidence, S, by solving fora in Eq. 9.4.2, dilfercntiadng with respect to i <br />x, and Betting s ~ 0, <br />B - S ~ (9.4.3) ; <br />where S',,., it the maximum slope observed in the field. It must be noted <br />that in Eq. 9.4.2, d is assumed to be zero; that is, the point of inflection is <br />directly above the edge of the opening. <br />Fur the Supcrcritictd cast, Eq. 9.4.2 still holds, except that 5,., ocean ' . <br />over tut area in the center of the subsidence trough, rather than at a point. '. <br />However, for the subcriliral width, the equation becomes more involved. <br />One method employs the Superposition of two critical width profiles. In <br />Fig. 9.4.7 the excavation A,A, has a subcritic:tl width w. Its induced <br />rurftue Subsidence profile can be determined by first assuming a critical <br />width opening with edge at A, and extending beyond A„ the profile <br />function of which S, is defined by Eq. 9.4.2. Similarly, a critical width <br />opening with edge at A, and extending beyond A, is an inverse of the <br />prcviuuB one, the profile function of which is S, aS defined also by Eq. <br />9.4.2. The resulting subcritical profile is <br />.. <br />S ~ S, - S, ~ ls.,, { tanh 2 B 1° - tanh B~ (9.4.4) <br /> <br /> <br />
