In chalk mines, the method of room and pillar mining has been widely used in France. This method results in substantial geohazards and therefore poses a serious public safety issue today. So, many large collapses have occurred during or after their exploitation, as the collapse of Clamart (south of Paris) being well known as one of the most catastrophic. Today, 50 years after the collapse, the main causes of the event are still not well understood. This back-analysis presents the case study, using both an empirical approach and a numerical approach. Based on a set of hypotheses, an empirical approach and 3D numerical modeling have indicated a plausible scenario that may explain the collapse: The large collapse may have been caused by a lack...
