This book originally appeared in German in 1974, under the title
"Bergschadenkunde" (mining subsidence engineering), and then in
Russian in 1978, published by Nedra of Moscow. When the German
edition was almost out of print, Springer-Verlag decided to bring
out a new edition, this time in English. For this English version
the text has been thoroughly revised, enlarged, and sup plemented
by over 100 new figures. The book deals with the current state of
international knowl edge on strata and ground movement over mine
workings, with its damaging effects on mine shafts and the land
surface, and with measures for regulating mining damage in law and
reducing it in practice. Discussion begins with the mine excavation
underground - the cause - and ends with the damage to surface
structure- the effect. Methods of roof control, including the
subject of rock bursts, are not discussed, since that is a field
concerned more with the safety of underground workings than with
minimizing damage at the surface. Of the 500 literature references
in the German edi tion, only the more important for an
international readership have been retained, but no value judgement
on the many pUblica tions not mentioned should be read into this.
The book is principally intended as a working aid for the mine
surveyor, the mining engineer, the architect, and the civil
engineer. For the student and the post-graduate researcher, it of
fers a summary and guide to this whole field of knowledge."
