| Abstract: | The rock mass structure determines the possible unstable blocks that can induce rock fall phenomena. The stability analyses
must therefore be based on an accurate geo-structural survey. In this work, the stability conditions of several steep slopes
along a motorway in the Far East have been evaluated through key block analysis based on traditional surveys and on laser
scanner acquisitions. Discontinuity orientations and positions on the rock face are derived from the point cloud in order
to perform the reconstruction of the rock mass and to identify blocks in the slope. Results obtained from both the traditional
and the new method is in good agreement. Stability analyses have been performed for evaluating the kinematic feasibility of
different failure mechanisms. The rock block shapes and volumes are computed by performing 2D and 3D analyses whereas the
failure mechanisms are examined using the key block method. Parametrical analyses have been carried on to evaluate the influence
of slope angle variation. DEM models have also been set up. The relative hazard is determined by statistically evaluating
the kinematical feasibility of different failure mechanisms. Hazard mapping has been utilized to identify the best methodology
for risk mitigation. |
