DESIGN MANUAL FOR ROADS AND BRIDGES, VOL 1, SECTION 3, PART 14, DESIGN OF HIGHWAY STRUCTURES IN AREAS OF MINING SUBSIDENCE

Mining subsidence is ground movement caused by mineral extraction. In most cases this movement extends to the ground surface. This Standard sets out the steps which must be taken to establish whether mining subsidence is likely to occur at a particular site and, for locations where the nature and extent of the mining activity can be established, explains how the possible magnitude of the movements may be predicted. For structures located where the movements may be significant, this Standard outlines the design and detailing requirements to minimise the effects. Opencast mining is outside the scope of this Standard. It supersedes BD 10/82.
