Abstract

The world is widely exposed to risks related to the presence of underground cavities, whether natural or linked to human activities. These cavities represent a potential risk of collapse and thus of danger, particularly in urban areas. This article aims to explore through numerical modeling the effect of the mechanical characteristics of the soil on the instability of the underground cavity. Subsequently, a parametric study was conducted to study the influence of certain factors, including the relative distance between the foundation and the cavity and the influence of the size of the cavity on the ground. The studies will be carried out after a calculation by the finite element method.
