Enhancing Mine Subsidence Prediction and Control Methodologies for Long-Term Landscape Stability
… to underground mining (commonly referred to as mine subsidence) provide engineers with the means to minimize negative effects on the surface. Due to the complexity of subsidence-related movements, numerous techniques exist for predicting mine subsidence behavior. This thesis focuses on the …

Surface Subsidence Due to Coal Mining in Illinois
Subsidence of the land surface has been associated with coal mining in Illinois since the early days of the industry. Investigations of subsidence damage began in Illinois more than 100 years ago. However, over the years there has been very little scientific or engineering documentation of …

Geotechnical characterization of coal refuse for use as a backfill material
Both active and residual mine subsidence resulting from underground coal mining have caused surface damage to land and structures. A method of subsidence mitigation successfully used abroad, and to a much lesser extent in U.S. coal mines, is backfilling. In addition to the possible benefits of …

Monitoring and prediction of surface movements above underground mines in the eastern U.S. coalfields
The increased impact on mine subsidence during the recent years led to the development of two semi-empirical prediction methods for the eastern United States coalfields. The methods are based on an extensive data bank, which includes a total of twenty three panels, from nine case studies, which …
