Quarry Wall Stability Assessment Using TLS Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to test the possibility of terrestrial laser scanning use to analyze the stability of quarry walls. In recent years the laser scanners started being tested and used for the documentation of geological structures and various phenomena such as landslides, rock collapses and observation of their morphological changes. The subject of our research was a quarry wall in the open-pit mine Brestov, with a significant bench or block disintegration of the andesite massif and therefore, there is a risk of rock blocks crashing. Selected quarry wall was repeatedly measured in the autumn and spring season by a terrestrial laser scanner and movements of rock blocks were evaluated. The observation results show that on the selected quarry wall there were no major movements or block collapse detected and the wall is stable after the winter shutdown.
