Description:  A study was done to modify the influence function method to predict subsidence of the ground surface.  The technique was changed to calculate slope and curvature, and a process to predict strain from these curvatures and from measured site constants was developed.  This technique was demonstrated by predicting pre-subsidence and post-subsidence shoreline contours around Rend Lake, Illinois, by predicting induced slopes as they relate to crop or power line damage, and by predicting curvature for the estimation of possible structural damage.  The results were discussed in detail.
