文摘The traditional methods of surface movement and deformation prediction seldom take account of the effects of small structures. However, because of the effects of small structures, the buildings located at the bottom of subsidence trough for full-extraction can not be protected by the flat bottom, but destroyed severely by concentrated strains in the fault-half-trough.
