Description
Sinkholes are a global challenge, and several countries are affected by them. Timely identification of sinkholes and monitoring of subsurface soil conditions are highly important. However, the main challenge for different countries lies in the methods of preventing and mitigating sinkholes. Accordingly, considering the distribution of sinkholes in various countries, this paper addresses the methods of sinkhole prevention and mitigation. The main approach in this paper is the use of soil improvement techniques in relation to sinkholes.
