Ground subsidence caused by underground coal mining is one of the challenging
environmental issues in mining engineering. This paper presents a field monitoring study of …

Partial extraction methods such as underground strip pillar mining or room-and-pillar mining
are widely adopted techniques to control ground subsidence. However, pillar failure in …

Underground coal mining inevitably causes ground subsidence, especially in the coal-grain
composite area with a high groundwater table (HGT) in eastern China, where mining …

Multi-seam mining-induced subsidence profile is observed to be different from that of single-
seam mining. Understanding the characteristics of multi-seam subsidence is the first step in …

Mining-induced fractures influence the stability of overburden and may provide pathways for
transferring heat and mass in underground environment. A novel approach was proposed to …

The increasing number of closed/abandoned mines being reused has become a concern for
people. However, a large number of coal pillars were left behind in the closed/abandoned …

With an increasing number of multi-seam mining projects, the problem of strata movement
caused by multi-seam mining has attracted increasing attention. Previous studies have …

Multi-seam longwall mining-induced subsidence profiles are often different from those of
single-seam mining. As a result, conventional subsidence prediction methods are less …

In favourable mining conditions, in particular at the Starobinskoye potash deposit (Belarus),
longwall mining systems are used. They cause a high human-induced load on the subsoil …

Land subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal induced by mining is a relatively
unknown phenomenon. This is primarily due to the small scale of such movements …
