Investigation and motion characteristics analysis of dangerous rock in high and steep slope based on UAV

Abstract

The geological conditions in Southwest China are complex, and the dangerous rock hazards developed in the high and steep slopes has extremely high harmfulness and concealment. The traditional contact survey method is difficult to find out the geological hazard effectively under the limitation of complex and changeable terrain conditions. Unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetric system has high flexibility and can obtain high-efficient, high precision and high resolution remote sensing images of geological disaster investigation area. By using the UAV photogrammetry system, the dangerous rock mass of the intake slope of Jinping secondary hydropower station is investigated. The working principle of UAV, the acquisition of high-definition image data and the construction of 3D model are discussed, and the feasibility of using the model data obtained by the system to investigate dangerous rock mass is demonstrated. Through repeated analysis and interpretation of the 3D real-scene model, the distribution characteristics of the dangerous rock hazard points of the intake slope are found out. On this basis, four sections are selected to simulate the movement track of unstable dangerous rock mass with Rocfall software, and the movement velocity, jump height and impact energy of different characteristic points of falling rock are calculated quantitatively with the formula.The research results provide an important reference value for the investigation of dangerous rock mass of high and steep slope in southwest China.
