Summary:	"Sinkholes and Subsidence is a comprehensive and accessible source of information about one of the most difficult types of ground conditions encountered by civil engineers - cavernous karst. Its aim is to provide an understanding about ground cavities, subsurface processes, sinkhole collapses and ground subsidence, thus helping construction engineers to design structures that will stand safely on this type of ground."--Jacket.
