Ground movements can be caused by slopes (slope movements) or by the presence of underground voids (collapses and subsidence).
For slope movements, we will base ourselves on the recommendations given by the Technical Committee on Slope Movements (JTC1), a joint body of the International Societies of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnics (ISSMGE), Rock Mechanics...
