Figure 12. Subsidence development curves relative to a point (P) from the 5NW longwall panel <br />at the West Elk Mine (squares), and Somerset room-and-pillar (circles, subsidence more than 90 <br />percent complete and triangles, subsidence only 60 percent complete) as compared to the average <br />National Coal Board curve (1975). This relationship is shown as the ratio of subsidence to <br />maximum subsidence (S/Sm) versus the ratio of face position to overburden depth (X/d).
