Resumen

The excavation of large-scale underground projects produces a large amount of rubble waste material that is temporarily deposited near the project site, which forms a large-scale waste rockfill artificial slope. The slope has a granular structure, thus, during excavation and trans-shipment, surface shallow landslides may frequently occur. Existing contact monitoring methods such as buried sensors and GPS (Global Position System) are difficult to apply to the monitoring of rockfill landslides. Therefore, there are no appropriate early warning methods for waste rockfill slope landslides during dynamic transfer. Here, we used ground-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar to monitor the deformation of a rockfill slope during the excavation and transfer processes as a proposed method for the early warning against landslides on rockfill slopes during dynamic construction based on the radar interference measurement results. Through data cleaning and data interpolation, the line of equal displacement was generated, and the cross-sectional area of the equal displacement bodies of landslides was calculated. In addition, we established a four-level early warning grading standard, with the rate of change of the cross-sectional area of the equal displacement body as the early warning index, and realized real-time dynamic early warning of waste rockfill landslides during excavation and transportation. Finally, five landslide examples were used to verify the proposed warning method. The results show that the warning method can make an early warning 8?14 min before the occurrence of landslide, which can effectively avoid the appearance of catastrophic events.
