Underground mining operations cause stress redistribution as a consequence, this causes some induced displacements on the ground surface. One of the consequences of this is cave-in which could lead to loss of life, materials and man hour.

Movements of strata over coal seams can be caused by underground activities, e.g. tunneling, mining, etc. Vertical displacement in each stratum can develop in an upward manner from the stratum adjacent to the coal seam to the surface. Hence, it is well known that there are strong links between subsurface and surface subsidence movements.

Subsidence is the downward settlement of the ground surface. Mining-induced surface subsidence is a phenomenon that occurs due to the underground extraction of an orebody. Open pit and underground mining operations cause stress redistribution; consequently, this causes some induced displacements on the ground surface.

1.Introduction. Coal-mining-induced surface subsidence is a complex spatiotemporal phenomenon. With the progressive mining of the working face, the surfaces of the affected areas undergo three stages of subsidence, namely, initial subsidence, active subsidence, and residual subsidence. 1 Initial subsidence generally only accounts for 10-15% of the final subsidence and causes minor ground ...

One of the ill effects of under-regulated mining is subsidence. "Ground subsidence" is a downward displacement of surface materials caused either by natural phenomena (removal of underground fluids, dissolution of underground minerals) or by man-made phenomena (underground mining). Subsidence may occur instantly or gradually over time.
