Publication Year

Abstract
Holds particular relevance to monitoring for subsidence above abandoned mines, but will be of interest to all geotechnical engineers involved in measuring building and ground movement. It describes precision water-levels and extensometers designed and used by BRE to research long-term horizontal and vertical ground movements above an abandoned limestone mine under an urban area in the West Midlands. Details are also given of the borehole electro-level, an economical device which can give early warning of ground subsidence over mines.
