Hazards from Ground Subsidence
1975In the twentieth century particularly, uncontrolled pumping of water and oil from underground has led to sharp economic and cultural losses. Too late, the ground surface has been found to have settled or subsided below natural levels. In this chapter subsidence will be given a broad definition, as any displacement of a generally level ground surface ...

Spatial Prediction of Ground Subsidence Susceptibility Using an Artificial Neural Network
Environmental Management, 2011 Ground subsidence in abandoned underground coal mine areas can result in loss of life and property. We analyzed ground subsidence susceptibility (GSS) around abandoned coal mines in Jeong-am, Gangwon-do, South Korea, using artificial neural network (ANN)

Subsidence Over Soft Ground Tunnel
Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division, 1975Knowing the potential causes of and being capable of reducing subsidence during a tunneling operation is important, as well as means of forecasting the magnitude and distribution of settlements prior to tunneling. This paper describes the existing soil and ground water conditions encountered, as well as the construction procedures used in advancing a ...

The Value of Subsidence Data in Ground Water Model Calibration
Groundwater, 2008Abstract The accurate estimation of aquifer parameters such as transmissivity and specific storage is often an important objective during a ground water modeling investigation or aquifer resource evaluation. Parameter estimation is often accomplished with changes in hydraulic head data as the key and most abundant type of observation.

Integrated monitoring and modelling of ground subsidence in potash mines
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 1997Abstract Ground subsidence is a subject of investigation in two potash mines in New brunswick, Canada. Geometry of salt and potash deposits and mining methods in the two mines are different. The goal of the investigation is to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism of the salt rock deformation and to develop prediction models of gorund ...

Ground subsidence: a silent disaster in Himalaya
Disaster Prevention and Management: An International Journal, 2005PurposeIt is observed that the slow onslaught disasters do not normally catch media attention as these often do not result in human casualties. Inadequate media attention results in insufficient rehabilitation support for the victims. The paper aims at highlighting the problem of ground subsidence in the Himalayan terrain together with the hardships of

Integration of InSAR and GIS for an estimation of ground subsidence susceptibility
2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010Ground subsidence susceptibility at a coal mine by integration of L-band SAR measurements and a subsidence hazard model incorporated in GIS was estimated. A subsidence hazard map was constructed using JERS-1 SAR data from the early 1990s and the subsidence hazard model.

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, 2000
Abstract The results of surface subsidence investigations carried out in different coal fields in India are presented in this paper. Important differences are seen to exist between the subsidence norms given in the Subsidence Engineers Handbook, UK and those obtained in Indian conditions.

Ground subsidence and mine backfill
1983Extraction of mineral resources from the ground has caused surface subsidence and caving in many areas. Past caving problems due to underground mining have sponsored more responsible regulations, but the recognition that base minerals are depleting resources has produced a demand for higher extraction ratios with less ore left underground to support ...

The Pre-calculation of Ground Subsidence
1983At the beginning of this century, the mine surveyor was faced with the task of estimating, in increasingly thickly populated mining districts, the mining damage likely to be done to buildings, transportation installations, and agricultural land lying over new mines.
