Modeling Downward Groundwater Leakage Rate to Evaluate the Relative Probability of Sinkhole Development at an Under-Construction Expressway and Its Vicinity

Sinkhole development has been recognized as a major geohazard, as sinkholes pose great threats to infrastructure, such as buildings, roads, bridges, and pipelines, resulting in huge financial losses to society. Previous studies indicated that the spatial density of sinkholes increases linearly with...
