Abstract
Many areas in the United States are underlain by abandoned mines and many more areas will be undermined in the future. As mine cavities collapse they cause settlement and ground distortions on the surface which may damage or destroy buildings and utilities. Many of these subsidence-prone areas are presently used or will be used in the future for residential housing development. Three problems associated with the development of mine subsidence areas are addressed: Site exploration and evaluation; site development; and housing construction in mine subsidence areas. This paper is derived from a study sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
