Numerical modelling of slumps under highways located on a mining damage area, based on experimental measurements

Abstract

A system of ground movement measurements under a highway in an Upper Silesia (Poland, Europe) mining damage area has been presented. The objective of the research was to develop a numerical analysis of such slumps occurring under a highway, carried out by a reliable and fast method of converting the results of relevant experimental measurements into ground displacements under the road. For engineering purposes, the results of both monitoring and analysis should be proceeded online, in a fast, sufficiently accurate and reliable way.
