Cave backfill grouting implies grouting of the caving rock mass prior to it being compacted. The filling materials strengthen the caving rock and support the overlying strata to achieve the purpose of slowing down the surface subsidence. The broken roof will fail and collapse during mining operations performed without appropriate supporting measures being taken. It is difficult to perform conti...

Abstract: The extraction of underground ore body inevitably causes a large amount of land subsidence. Current reclamation technologies in China mainly focus on stable subsided land. Therefore, a new technology for reclaiming unstable subsiding land is being studied for restoring farmland as much as possible based on a case study in Northern Anhui, China. In consideration of the mining plan, sub...

Spaceborne SAR Differential interferometry (DInSAR) has been used to monitor some geological disasters such as ground subsidence. This paper applies two Permanent Scatterer InSAR(PS-InSAR) techniques to measure long-term and short-term subsidence in urban area of Shanghai urban. A great number of archieved ERS data are utilized to measure long-term subsidence during 1993-2000 year. A small set ...

Coal mining activities all over the world often introduce serious environmental impact to the local regions, such as the occurrence of land subsidence. Conventional subsidence monitoring is done by precision leveling and GPS surveying. However, recent studies show that differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) is capable of monitoring land subsidence at sub-cm accuracy. In ...

Unconsolidated pyroclastic flow deposits of the 1993 eruption of Lascar Volcano, Chile, have, with time, become increasingly dissected by a network of deeply penetrating fractures. The fracture network comprises orthogonal sets of decimeter-wide linear voids that form a pseudo-polygonal grid visible on the deposit surface. In this work, we combine shallow surface geophysical imaging tools with ...

Land subsidence in the Bandung basin, West Java, Indonesia, is characterized based on differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) and interferometric point target analysis (IPTA). We generated interferograms from 21 ascending SAR images over the period 1 January 2007 to 3 March 2011. The estimated subsidence history shows that subsidence continuously increased reaching a cumu...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: InSAR Multi-temporal InSAR Subsidence Aquifer Fault Oil field Salt dome Houston Houston–Galveston (HG) region in Texas has been subsiding due to the combined effects of groundwater withdrawal , hydrocarbon extraction, salt dome movement, and faulting. This human-and partially nature-induced ground deformation has gradually threatened the stability of urban infras...

In this paper, the decision-making information of subsidence area for twenty years is extracted, using Landsat multi-band and multitemporal remote sensing data, SPOT 5 texture features, DEM elevation, the methods of data fusion and principal component analysis and GIS technology, thereby the spatial and temporal distribution of change of subsidence area in mining is acquired from years 1987 to ...
