<p>Thin coastal dykes typically found in developing countries may suddenly collapse due to rapid land subsidence, material ageing, sea-level rise, high wave attack, earthquakes, landslides, or a collision with vessels. Such a failure could trigger dam-break ...

<p>The Barapukuria Coalfield is only production coalfield in Bangladesh with coal deposit area of approximately 6.25 km2. Geologically, the coal basin is a singular syncline in which coal occurs at shallower depth at the northern part and deeper depth at the ...

<p style="text-align: justify;">The LKAB Malmberget Mine is mined using sublevel caving. This mining method is cost-effective but results in successive caving of the host rock and mining-induced ground deformations. Consequently, re-locations of residential ...

The occurrence of subsidence, either by natural or anthropogenic factors, is of concern in engineering practice due to the potential impacts on infrastructure, natural resources and the environment. Subsidence is a complex phenomenon involving different processes ...

<p>During tunneling in loose grounds, the ground deformation caused by drillings around the tunnel, leads to land subsidence and the adjacent tunnel which would affect tunnel structure and surrounding structures. In such situations it is necessary to improve ...

Tectonic deformation from the 2010 Maule (Chile) Mw 8.8 earthquakeincluded both uplift and subsidence along about 470 km of the central Chilean coast. In the south, deformation included as much as 3 m of uplift of the Arauco Peninsula, which produced emergent ...

Land subsidence in the Lisbon area validated by two geodetic techniques GNSS and PSInSAR

<p>The quantification of risk is fundamental to assessing its acceptability. When drafting codes of practice, the quantified risk is used in assessing the reliability of the structure and ensuring this complies with national norms. Problems arise in complex ...

<div style="text-align: left;">After a brief review of a number of developments of unsaturated soil mechanics, the paper presents some applications to engineering problems. The first case involves the collapse of a residual soil in <div style="text-align: ...

Causes and impacts of land subsidence at Bandug Basin.

AMSS is a software program that helps to identify the location and likely severity of multiple seam interactions. Multiple seam interactions are a major ground control hazard in many US underground coal mines. The two most common types of interactions are:<ul><li>Undermining, ...

Generate isopachs and subsidence based on depth of mining, geological charateristics, and mine design parameters. SDPS is a niche program developed through the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) and Carlson Software is the ...
