  1. Technical Univ. of Silesia, Gliwice (Poland)

The interaction between construction`s supports (supported slope) and ground medium in mine-field subsoil deformation conditions is discussed. Basing on the results of analog model investigation, the phenomenon of the soil thrust on the vertical elements of buildings structures in mining areas was found to be entirely different from classical soil pressure in view of Coulombe`s theory. The novel theoretical concept of this phenomenon is based on the granular media mechanics and variable values of the earth pressure coefficient in the conditions described by horizontal unitary compacting strains in the subsoil.
