Utilization of 3D Laser Scanning for Stability Evaluation and Deformation Monitoring of Landslides.

Abstract

Three-dimensional laser scanning technology can comprehensively and accurately monitor slope deformation. To conduct deformation monitoring and stability evaluation of the Changzhou Shunguoshan landslide, in this paper, the causes of the Changzhou Shunguoshan landslide were analyzed. Consequently, 3D laser scanning technology and the traditional monitoring methods such as data from the total station were compared. The point cloud data provides big data support for landslide deformation monitoring and landslide stability early warning. Meanwhile, the landslide stability was evaluated by analogy with existing studies on slope deformation monitoring data. Results show that the three-dimensional laser scanning monitoring data is similar to the total station monitoring data. The overall deformation of the Shunguoshan landslide is no more than ± 0.0015 m; the deformation of the Liyang slope is less than ±0.09 m, which is far less than the analog slope deformation monitoring data. The slope construction and monitoring process are in a stable state.
