The study deals with the evaluation of possible impact of undermining on a slope deformation Doubrava Ujala nearby the cityof Karviná in the north-east of the Czech Republic. Undermining is a phenomenon caused by underground mining of black coalin the active Karviná part of the Ostrava-Karviná District. It is on the boundary of the working districts Karviná – Mines I and Poruba,which are operated by the Karviná Mine. In order to assess the possible impact, isocatabase maps in different time

... ions were useddocumenting the chronology of the subsidence trough formation and next, ground deformation parameters. The activity of slopemovement was registered by means of zone extensometry on the surface and in the depth by means of precise inclinometry measuring.Apart from the impact of undermining, the effects of climatic conditions were taken into consideration, correlating the movement sizewith precipitation depth in the nearest rainfall gauging stations. As for the mechanism of undermining impact there is an apparentinfluence of additional stress from undermining caused by elongation of the ground surface, which is evidenced by the positionof the slope deformation in the convex part of the subsidence trough slope. All the above mentioned factors influence the stabilityconditions of the slope deformation.
