Abstract: Due to the lack of historical subsidence data on goaf sites alongside expressways, it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate the stability of goaf sites and accurately identify potential risk points. An investigation to study the stability of goaf sites in the Huaibei section of the Xu Huaifu Expressway is conducted through SBAS-InSAR technology and field investigation. Initially, the stability of the goaf site around the route is anticipated through field investigation. Afterwards, based on the extraction of Sentinel-1 satellite images, subsidence data of the goaf sites from 2017 to 2021 were extracted. Finally, the stability of risk points is analysed. Results demonstrate that although mining in the area stopped more than five years ago, the goaf site has continued to slowly sink. According to four years of goaf site subsidence data extracted by SBAS-InSAR technology, two subsidence risk areas, namely, Y1-05 and Y1-09, were discovered, and the subsidence areas displayed an obvious inverted “convex†shape. Of these two areas, Y1-05 is a potential risk point that was not found during the field investigation. The subsidence basin in the Y1-05 area has developed gradually, and the residual subsidence is expected to be close to 475 millimetres within the next 15 years. Although it can be considered a stable area, the subsidence value is quite large and may pose risks to route safety. Therefore, a flexible reinforced mesh can be adopted for the route. The subsidence basin of Y1-09 is the largest, but the expected residual subsidence is only 50 millimetres and will have insignificant influence on the route. Engineering practice shows that SBAS-InSAR technology can effectively analyse the surface deformation of goaf sites and has important practical significance in optimising the selection of special geological routes in expressways.
