This paper deals with an influance of the mining subsidence on an intensity of the deformation of the line structures. The size of the deformation is depended not only on size of the horizontal movements but also on a different size of the mining subsidence in concrete segment of the construction. If the terrain is sloped down and the mining subsidence are increasing in the direction of a slope the deformation of a segment is also increasing. On the other hand if the terrain and the mining subsidence in the direction of a slope is rising, then the deformation decreases. It is necessary for appraisal of straining of the linear structures to take into consideration not only the horizontal movements but also the gradient of terrain for changes of the mining subsidence of the construction. The simulation of calculation of the global deformation is given as an example.
