Development of a Sinkhole Raveling Chart Based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) Data [PDF]
, 2018 Naturally occurring sinkholes in Florida are formed when the soluble limestone bedrock weathers and creates cavities at its interface with the overburden finer-grained soils. The overburden soil then erodes into the limestone fissures, thus weakening the

Physical and Chemical Controls on Suffosion Development in Gypsic Soil, Culberson County, Texas [PDF]
, 2018 In the Gypsum Plain, suffosion processes have encouraged road failure through dissolution and transport of gypsic soils; however, no prior research has been conducted within the Delaware Basin in regard to these processes.

Seepage-induced sand-leakage karst collapse mechanism considering the soil arching effect
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhiSand-leakage karst collapse often occurs in the hidden karst area of the binary structure covering layer due to seepage. However, further research is needed to understand the macro and micro mechanical mechanisms of such collapse and the mechanical ...

Numerical simulation of critical flow velocity in the covered karst soil cave formation
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhiThe covered karst collapse has the characteristics of concealment, suddenness, uncertainty, and mechanism complexity, which leads to its prevention and treatment more difficult. In the process of covered karst collapse, soil caves formed in the overlying
