Download or read book Florida Sinkholes written by Robert Brinkmann and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Below the live oaks, palm trees, cypress swamps, and springs, water is slowly wearing away the limestone bedrock of Florida. The erosion is often unseen, and over time it can result in shocking cave-ins like the destructive spectacle of the 1981 Winter Park sinkhole. Florida Sinkholes--the first comprehensive book on the subject--is an easy-to-follow guide to understanding how sinkholes form and what to do about Florida's sometimes pockmarked landscape. City planners, construction managers, developers, and homeowners alike will find this book invaluable because of the heavy impact and increasing frequency of sinkhole formation in the state. Amateur geologists will be fascinated by the subtle forces of nature that can make solid rock disappear. Tackling the problem of sinkholes in useful detail, this book packs an abundance of sound scientific fact into frank, readable language. Learn about the captivating workings of karst, a term for the swiss cheese-like formations of soluble rock that underlie the peninsula. Discover current state-of-the-art approaches to mapping sinkholes and subsurface voids. Review such practical concerns as structural damage, repairs, insurance problems, and management of karst lands. Examine case studies of several notable sinkholes and sinkhole events. Even before you've finished reading, you may find yourself itching to get out and visit these intriguing marvels of Florida geology for yourself.

Download or read book Determination of Sinkhole Activity in Granular Sediments in West Central Florida written by E. D. Zisman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new method is presented for determining the presence of sinkhole activity using the current (2017) Florida statute. The new method uses a modified raveling index (modified with normalized N-values) for verification of sinkhole activity together with consideration of other non-sinkhole causes of building distress. In addition, the problems associated with detecting cover collapse and cover subsidence sinkholes are also considered. Difficulties in applying the Florida statute are also discussed, and recommendations for improvement of the statute are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) contracted the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) to map the favorability of the State’s geology to sinkhole formation in response to a large outbreak of sinkholes across the State following Tropical Storm Debby in late June 2012. The project’s results are intended to bolster the State Hazard Mitigation Plan’s section on sinkhole hazards allowing for improved mitigation strategies.
