Assessment of coal mining subsidence damage in soma-turkey coalfield using fem modelling / ocena szkód górniczych związanych z osiadaniem gruntu w zagłębiu węglowym soma w turcji, z wykorzystaniem metody elementów skończonych

Abstract

Soma has mine subsidence problems associated with production. Therefore, property and infrastructure damage will be related with coal-mine subsidence in Soma. In this study, depending on the underground coal mine production method, damage of subsidence on energy line was determined in Soma-Turkey coalfield. Subsidence may still occur in these areas. Therefore, determining subsidence is very important. Finite element methods (FEM) and field measurements were used for determining the parameters of mechanisms. The software, Phase2, used for the numerical modeling was developed by Rockscience Inc. The results obtained from modeling have been found to be compatible with previous studies and have been compared with actual field observation.
