Abstract

Subsidence, mining and site data has been collected over a number of longwall panels in the Illinois Basin. Using this data, empirical correlations are attempted to various subsidence parameters, including maximum vertical and horizontal displacement, subsidence slope and curvature and horizontal strain. Also, the corresponding locations of these various subsidence characteristics are correlated to the associated site conditions. An extensive list of definitions are provided for the various subsidence parameters utilized in the paper.

Empirical Correlations of Longwall Subsidence Data for the Illinois Coal Basin
