The underground mining areas for Panels 1–5 are about 28.6 ha, 27.2 ha, 26.4 ha, 29.7 ha, and 16.0 ha, respectively. The underground mining area is about 38% of the case study area (333.4 ha). The probability integration approach is used to project surface subsidence after the mining of each panel with consideration of the original terrain.

Subsidence, a universal process that occurs in response to the voids created by extracting solids or liquids from beneath the Earth's surface, is controlled by many factors including mining methods, depth of extraction, thickness of deposit, and topography, as well as the in situ properties of the rock mass above the deposit. The impacts of subsidence are potentially …
