Determination of karst collapse intensity from incomplete data

Sharapov R.V.

The paper deals with the definition of karst collapse intensity. The technique for determining the intensity of karst formation and collapse on the basis of calculation and probabilistic method is given. In reality, karst col-lapse formation is affected by a great variety of natural and anthropogenic factors. Each factor can vary quite widely. Certain combinations of factors can cause karst process activation, while other combinations are not able to bring the natural system out of balance. The paper describes a technique for determining karst collapse intensity from incomplete data. It uses karst processes monitoring data in the area and monitoring data of areas with similar values of the most significant factors leading to the karst collapses.

Keywords: karst collapse intensity, karst, karst collapse.
