Proposed Criteria For Subsidence Damage To Buildings (d2ee0f1e-295b-4fb1-ab17-d19f1e17df4a)

United States federal and state regulatory authorities require underground mine operators to adopt adequate measures to minimize material damage to the surface caused by nine subsidence. This paper presents an approach to define and determine the extent of material damage due to subsidence from underground coal mining. The basic steps involved in the development of adequate criteria have been enumerated together with the approaches and methodologies used.
