  • IAEG2006 Field Trip Guide Ripon 1 GYPSUM DISSOLUTION
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NERC Open Research Archive IAEG2006 Field Trip Guide Ripon GYPSUM DISSOLUTION GEOHAZARDS AT RIPON, NORTH YORKSHIRE, UK Anthony H.Cooper1 1British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, e-mail:[email protected] Abstract: This guide is for a one-day field excursion to examine gypsum dissolution geohazards at Ripon in North Yorkshire. Gypsum is a highly soluble rock and under suitable groundwater flow conditions it can dissolve forming caves and karstic features including collapse and suffosion dolines. These have the capability of causing subsidence damage of the type that affects much of the Ripon area. The guide details the processes involved, the localities visited and some of the remedial measures undertaken. Résumé: Ce guide concerne l'excursion d'une journée ayant pour but d'étudier les géo-aléas liés à la dissolution du gypse à Ripon dans la région du North Yorkshire. Le gypse est une roche hautement soluble et, dans des conditions adéquates d'écoulement de l'eau souterraine, pouvant se dissoudre et engendrer des grottes et formes karstiques telles qu'effondrements et dolines de suffosion. Celles-ci peuvent causer des dégâts de subsidence du type de ceux qui touchent la plupart des alentours de Ripon. Ce guide fournit des explications sur les phénomènes mis en jeu, les localités visitées et quelques-unes des mesures prises pour remédier à ces problèmes. Keywords: subsidence, evaporites, aquifers, cavities, collapse, urban geosciences. INTRODUCTION Gypsum, hydrated Calcium Sulphate (CaSO4.2H2O), is attractive as satin spar, beautiful as carved alabaster, practical as plasterboard (wallboard), but the cause of a geological hazard capable of swallowing houses and collapsing dams.

The views expressed are not necessarily those of the Department 0 NERC 1998 Keyworth, Nottingham, British Geolo,oiccil Survey, I998 AVOIDING GYPSUM GEOHAZARDS SUMMARY This information details the occurrence and characteristics of the rock and mineral gypsum, its highly soluble nature and the types of problems associated with it. These include subsidence, which can affect all construction including buildings, roads, railways and canals. Water leakage beneath dams is also described along with the aggravation of dissolution and subsidence caused by water abstraction. The financial losses caused by gypsum geohazards can be large and considerable cost savings can be generated by avoidance planning and the use of protective construction measures such as those detailed. This report is has been prepared for planners, geologists and geotechnical engineers, throughout the world, to raise their awareness of gypsum geohazard problems and to help with local and national planning.

  • Subsidence Hazards Caused by the Dissolution of Permian Gypsum in England: Geology, Investigation and Remediation
    SUBSIDENCE HAZARDS CAUSED BY THE DISSOLUTION OF PERMIAN GYPSUM IN ENGLAND: GEOLOGY, INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION A H Cooper, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG. This is a recompiled version of the final draft of the published paper, it is presented with coloured versions of the figures and may differ slighly from the published edited version. Please respect copyright of BGS/NERC and refer to the final published version if you wish to quote the work. Published as: Cooper, AH. 1998. Subsidence hazards caused by the dissolution of Permian gypsum in England: geology, investigation and remediation. 265–275 in: Geohazards in engineering geology, Maund, JG, Eddleston, M (eds.). Geological Society of London. Special Publications in Engineering Geology, 15. ABSTRACT About every three years natural catastrophic subsidence, caused by gypsum dissolution, occurs in the vicinity of Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. Holes up to 35 m across and 20 m deep have appeared without warning. In the past 150 years, 30 major collapses have occurred, and in the last ten years the resulting damage to property is estimated at about £1,000,000. Subsidence, associated with the collapse of caves resulting from gypsum dissolution in the Permian rocks of eastern England, occurs in a belt about 3 km wide and over 100 km long. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) dissolves rapidly in flowing water and the cave systems responsible for the subsidence are constantly enlarging, causing a continuing subsidence problem. Difficult ground conditions are associated with caves, subsidence breccia pipes (collapsed areas of brecciated and foundered material), crown holes and post-subsidence fill deposits.

The latest population growth and climate change predictions show that pressure on water resources is likely to increase in the future. In light of this, we have to ensure that we continue to maintain and improve sustainable abstraction and balance the needs of society, the economy and the environment. This licensing strategy sets out how we will manage water resources in the Swale, Ure, Nidd and Upper Ouse catchment and provides you with information on how we will manage existing abstraction licences and water availability for further abstraction.
