ABSTRACT
The adverse effects of underground mining often manifest as ground surface deformations, which may lead to damage or even the complete destruction of buildings. Such consequences pose a particularly serious threat to human health, safety, and property. These hazards are mostly monitored and assessed using surveying techniques. This study presents the results of an experimental evaluation of a novel methodology for measuring and estimating the deformation in an architectural structure situated within the mining area of decommissioned coal mines in Upper Silesia (Będzin, southern Poland). The primary research objective was achieved through geodetic measurements employing terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology. The proposed measurement procedure comprised two stages: (1) an inventory survey of the building facade, and (2) high-precision scanning of specially designed control points embedded within the thermal insulation layer. Notably, this method effectively compensates for the presence of the thermal insulation, which would otherwise prevent direct measurement of the building’s structural surface based on characteristic points.
