Structural health monitoring is a hot topic within the field of structure and transportation
engineering. It is vital to develop intelligent perception methods for tunnel structure …

As mining operations extend to greater depths, the risk of deformation in high-stress tunnels
increases significantly, posing a substantial threat. This study introduces a novel framework …

The shear strength parameters of the discontinuity surfaces should be acquired for the
investigation of discontinuity-controlled instabilities in rock masses. Particularly in weak …

The volumetric discontinuity intensity (P 32) is defined as the total discontinuity area by rock
mass volume. P 32 has been considered the most suitable parameter to quantify …

In the drifts of underground metal mines, the extraction of rock mass discontinuity
characteristics from point cloud models generated with laser scanning has become the main …

Landslides in conglomerate deposits are a common geological hazard in road engineering.
Accurately obtaining the mechanical parameters of conglomerates and scientifically …

Feature extraction is a common method for obtaining the discontinuities of rock masses from
point cloud. In this study, a feature pre-segmentation method for identifying the …

The geometric statistical characteristics of rock mass discontinuities, such as mean trace
length and intensity, cannot be measured directly and require the use of statistical tools …

This article compares the synthetic rock mass (SRM) modeling approach with empirical
methods used to obtain the equivalent strength of rock masses. In the first case, a parametric …
