A REVIEW OF THE THEORIES USED IN INVESTIGATION OF SUBSIDENCE

In this paper the problem of subsidence has been explained as hydro-geomechanical, and a solution is developed from the conservation principles of classical physics. Currently available theories of evaluating subsidence have been reviewed and their merits and limitations have been presented and tabulated. Very few of the models appear to have been tested. Recommendations as regards constitutive relations and future research are made. (Author/TRRL)
