[0002] In the field of geotechnical engineering, soil cave collapse is a common geological disaster with complex causes, mainly including natural factors and human activities. Natural factors mainly involve the dissolution of groundwater, geological tectonic movement, changes in the physical and chemical properties of soil layers, etc. These factors can lead to the formation and expansion of underground space and eventually cause surface collapse. Human factors mainly refer to various engineering construction activities, such as mining, tunnel excavation, groundwater extraction, etc. These activities may change the original hydrogeological conditions and accelerate the formation and collapse of soil caves.
[0003] Traditional soil cave collapse research mostly relies on on-site investigation and post-analysis, which has limitations. For example, it is difficult to capture dynamic information at the moment of collapse, and it is impossible to accurately measure the changes in the mechanical parameters of the soil before and after the collapse. It is also strictly restricted by time and location, making it difficult to conduct systematic and repeatable experimental research. In addition, since natural soil cave collapse events are often accompanied by suddenness and unpredictability, they pose great challenges to prevention and emergency response.
