Title
Sinkholes: Their Geology, Engineering And Environmental Impact. Proceedings Of The First Multidisciplinary Conference, Orlando, Florida, 15-17 October 1984.
Abstract
The papers in the volume are concerned with the cause, development, effects, and mitigation of sinkholes (dolines) and sinkhole-like (induced) features. The editorial preface on sinkhole terminology attempts to rationalise the definitions and confusions of the geological, engineering and popular usages and affirms that the term sinkhole should refer only to localised land surface depressions arising from karst processes. The over 60 papers are organised in sections: 1) the geologic framework and mechanisms of sinkhole development; 2) site studies and evaluation of sinkhole-susceptibility; 3) sinkhole-like features (subsidence pits); 4) environmental/societal impact of sinkholes; 5) case histories: remedial engineering of sinkholes; and 6) engineering in sinkhole-prone areas. The papers are abstracted separately, mainly in Geo Abstracts Part A. -M.A.Bass
