Comprehensive & Integrated Subsidence Prediction Model
CISPM is a computer program package for predicting surface subsidence induced by underground mining operations. The development of the prediction package is based on the influence function method that is widely adopted in the major mining countries including US coal mining industry. The findings from our researches in the last 15 years on mining subsidence have been incorporated into this package. The prediction model has been validated by a large amount of field data. It has been successfully employed in numerous cases of assessing the subsidence influences on as well as designing and implementing mitigation measures for various surface structures.
