Surface Ground Deformation in Jharia and Raniganj Coalfields Over Old Mine Workings

Amar Prakash, Kuldip Singh

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Subsidence can occur at any time over old mine workings, regardless how long it has been deserted due to the existence of voids and weak supporting pillars. Subsidence in old workings leads to severe damage to surface structures. This paper deals with the impacts and causes of subsidence and the preventive measures to be taken to avoid reoccurrence of ground movement depending upon field conditions. surface ground conditions after triggered subsidence has also been dealt in this paper.
