Coal mining is a critical energy industry that considerably evolves and benefits the
modernization and development of our society. However, the side-effects such as degraded …

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings can be affected by different actions that can
induce permanent or transient effects on them. While applications concerning the seismic …

The end of iron-mining operations in France's Lorraine region has raised the problem of post-
mining management. Collapses and subsidence have recently occurred in this region …

Ground stability is a major concern for land use planning and both natural and
anthropogenic risk assessment, especially in urbanized areas. Space‐borne differential …

The aim of this paper is to propose a simplified methodology to evaluate the mechanical
performances of buildings exposed to landslide hazard, by using procedures inspired from …

A large number of accidents caused by goafs have great influence on the ecological
environment and public safety. In order to assess the risk degrees of goafs, a hybrid Tomada …

Mining activities cause horizontal and vertical movements on the earth's surface as well as
in underground, which give rise to environmental, economical, judicial and urbanization …

The objective of this study is to develop an analytical model that can predict the building‐
relevant deflections induced by tunnelling or mining subsidence. The model takes into …

Tunnelling in congested urban area may inevitably induce ground movement causing
damage to adjacent surface buildings. Past research usually oversimplified surface structure …

As more and more under-river tunnels are constructed in urban areas, the deformations and
potential damage of existing embankments due to tunnelling have become a major concern …
