Abstract

In order to develop a method to estimate the risk of secondary disaster during rescue activities at a site suffering from slope failure, a method for using repeated surveying by means of laser scanner installed on the ground is proposed. Eight experiments of slope failure including one carried in a natural slope were done. To improve the accuracy in the deformation, spatial stacking of data was adopted. Availability and reliability of the method, characteristics of deformation measured are discussed.
