Description: Systematic monitoring of unstable and potentially unstable rock slopes is used to assess degree of their actual instability and to check changes of that degree in time, to enable an early warning of reaching the state of immediate rock fall danger. By this way, the number of technical remedial measures on unstable rock objects can be minimise to the inevitable cases – that is the ones in immediate danger of fall. The data needed to individually optimise such measures, and to check their real results, after their realization, are also acquired by the monitoring. Long-time replacement of technical remedial measures on a majority of unstable rock objects only by the safety monitoring provides an environment-friendly, and an economical tool to manage rock fall danger in selected natural and cultural heritage sites in Czech and Korea Republics. |
