Description
SDPS is an integrated approach to the problem of calculating and predicting ground deformations above undermined areas. Based on empirical or site-specific regional parameters, the model quantifies a variety of ground deformation indices for both longwall and high extraction room-and-pillar mines, including subsidence profile, angle of draw, strain, slope, and curvature, to name a few. The application includes a graphing program as well as a pillar stability program that can help evaluate the stability of pillars in room-and-pillar mines.
