Subsidence investigations in Indian coalfields have led to development of relationships between subsidence movement parameters and defining of safe limits of subsidence movements for surface properties. The maximum subsidence over caved workings was generally not more than 60% of extraction thickness underground while in case of hydraulically sand stowed workings it was generally not more than 5%. The relationships have been useful in extraction of more than 7-million tonne of coal from underneath and in the vicinity of surface properties. |
