Geomechanical Aspects of Abandoned Room and Pillar Mines and Remediation Measures

<p><em>Geomechanical Aspects of Abandoned Room and Pillar Mines and Remediation Measures</em> addresses the occurrence prediction and control of subsidence issues encountered in room and pillar mining including creep degradation and seismic aspects. The book distinguishes itself by:</p><ul> <li>Presenting a unified treatise on room and pillar mines</li> <li>Using clear definitions and explanations of fundamental concepts</li> <li>Considering long-term aspects (creep and degradation) seismic effects remedial measures contact types and remote sensing monitoring techniques</li> <li>Including physical and numerical modeling</li> <li>Demonstrating an in-depth view of procedures and solution techniques</li> </ul><p>This book provides a clear understanding of active and/or abandoned room and pillar mines. It is aimed at academics and engineers with a mining and/or civil engineering background but it also serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students.</p>
