Using LiDAR to measure subsurface movement of slow-moving landslides and study the interaction between the soil and LiDAR scanning targets
… has been used for predicting and researching geological hazards for two decades. This research focuses on using LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) to measure the slow-moving displacement of both surface and subsurface soil of landslides. Two kinds of computer simulation software, FLAC3D® and …

3D numerical modelling of brittle failure in mechanized excavation of deep tunnels
… along the main tunnel alignment. One of these geological hazards is the stress-induced brittle failure of hard rocks, leading to spalling (formation of rock slabs) and/or rockbursting (violent ejection of rock fragments). This thesis initially deals with brittle failure, both in laboratory …
