Ein konzeptioneller Ansatz zur Prognose bergbaulicher Senkungen auf Basis synthetischer Daten und neuronaler Netze
摘要
The prediction of mining-induced ground movements, as addressed in subsidence engineering is characterized by the high heterogeneity of geological structures and operational conditions.
Existing models—whether empirical, physical, or stochastic—typically require local calibration and are therefore only transferable to a limited extent.
This contribution presents a novel methodological approach in which a neural network (NN) is used to predict surface subsidence caused by underground mining activities or cavern construction. A key innovation lies in the training data: Instead of relying on real, often inaccessible measurement data, the network is trained using synthetically generated subsidence troughs based on empirically grounded influence functions from subsidence engineering. These synthetic troughs allow for a controlled variation of geological and technical parameters, thereby covering a wide range of possible scenarios.
The aim is to develop a flexible, generalizable prediction model that does not require real-world data, yet is capable of capturing complex patterns of mining-induced ground movements. The presented approach demonstrates how an established domain knowledge can be systematically integrated to enable data-independent and adaptive modeling. As such, this article contributes to the advancement of innovative methods in subsidence engineering and provides a foundation for future applications and research efforts.
