Accuracy Estimation of the Approximated Methods Used for Assessing Risk of Buildings Damage Under the Influence of Underground Exploitation in the Light of World’s and Polish Experience – Part 2 / Analiza Dokładności Przybliżonych Metod Oceny Zagrożenia Budynków Wpływami Podziemnej Eksploatacji Stosowanych W Świecie I Polskiej Metody Punktowej – Część 2

Abstract

Abstract This paper is a continuation of theoretical analyses of World’s methods used for assessing damage risk to buildings with continuous strains, which were presented in Part 1. The authors focus only on those methods in which the scale of damage to buildings can be approximated. Selected methods were tested on 100 random objects sited in hard coal excavation-induced areas. The efficiency and effectiveness of those methods was evaluated. The damage risk was also verified with the use of a method currently used in Poland. The efficiency results obtained for World’s methods and the one used in Poland turned out to be comparable. Practical studies were made to evaluate the adaptability of those methods in the underground exploitation-induced conditions in Poland.
