Structural analysis of S-wave seismics around an urban sinkhole: evidence of enhanced dissolution in a strike-slip fault zone [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 In November 2010, a large sinkhole opened up in the urban area of Schmalkalden, Germany. To determine the key factors which benefited the development of this collapse structure and therefore the dissolution, we carried out several shear-wave ...

Experimental Study of Sinkhole Propagation Induced by a Leaking Pipe Using Fibre Bragg Grating Sensors [PDF]
SensorsSinkhole formation caused by leaking pipes in karst soluble rocks is a significant concern, leading to infrastructure damage and safety risks. In this paper, an experiment was conducted to investigate sinkhole formation in dense sand induced by a leaking

Growth of a sinkhole in a seismic zone of the northern Apennines (Italy) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Sinkhole collapse is a major hazard causing substantial social and economic losses. However, the surface deformations and sinkhole evolution are rarely recorded, as these sites are known mainly after a collapse, making the assessment of sinkhole ...

Ground stability of ellipsoidal cavity due to pipeline defects
Applications in Engineering Science, 2023 The problem of road-related sinkhole stability has long been one of the main safety concerns to pavement engineers. Collapse and blowout failures are two typical types of pipeline-related sinkhole failures.
