Architectural Measures to Minimize Subsidence Damage
The study provides the architectural and engineering professions with principles and criteria for the design and construction of buildings, structures, and underground utilities to minimize subsidence damage resulting from underground mining. State-of-the-Art information on the mechanics, controlling parameters, and prediction of surface subsidence is discussed. Subsidence related ground movements are studied for their effect on structures, and several case histories are presented. Minimization of structural damage is presented as obtained through Precautionary Measures and Preventive Works. Precautionary Measures include proper design and construction of new structures with consideration for subsidence effects. Preventive Works involve procedures taken to prepare an existing structure for subsidence effects. Recommendations are based primarily on the success and adaptability of European technologies. Relevant domestic and foreign literature is referenced throughout as a guide for specialized study.
