GEOTECHNICAL APPLICATIONS OF LIDAR FOR GEOMECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION IN DRILL AND BLAST TUNNELS AND REPRESENTATIVE 3-DIMENSIONAL DISCONTINUUM MODELLING

Contractors and tunnelling engineers consistently seek to identify techniques and equipment to improve the efficiency and lower the cost of tunnelling projects. Based on the recent successes of rock slope characterization with laser scanning techniques, the author proposes 3D laser scanning (LiDAR)...
