Surface Subsidence Due to Coal Mining in Illinois

Abstract

dc:description

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 subsidence movements in Illinois. In Europe on the other hand, knowledge of coal mine subsidence has progressed to a fairly advanced state, for longwall mining in particular.
