Types of Mine Subsidence ?
There are several types of mine subsidence, each presenting its own unique challenges and characteristics. One common type is sagging subsidence, where the ground gradually sinks due to the collapse of mined-out areas underground. This can lead to a slow, but steady, settling of the land surface. Another type is sudden collapse subsidence, characterized by abrupt and often dramatic sinkholes or craters forming when unsupported mine chambers or pillars give way. These events can occur unexpectedly and cause immediate, severe damage to structures above. Additionally, trough subsidence occurs when the land forms a long, narrow depression along the path of underground mining operations. This type of subsidence can lead to uneven settling and potential structural damage. Understanding the specific type of mine subsidence is crucial for implementing effective remediation strategies, as each requires a tailored approach to ensure the safety and stability of affected areas.
