This webinar examines how abandoned coal mines can affect ground stability and the safety of structures above them. It is hosted by the Connecticut Chapter of the ASCE Structural Engineering Institute.
Abdolreza (Reza) Osouli, Ph.D., P.E., will discuss the causes of mine subsidence, the relationship between mine stability and ground movement, and approaches to predicting potential structural damage. Case studies illustrate how different mining and geological conditions influence subsidence risk.
The online session takes place on November 13, 2026, from 12:00–1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
