Application Of Geological Mapping Using Airborne-Based Lidar Dem To Tunnel Engineering: Example Of Dongao Tunnel In Northeastern Taiwan
APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL(2021)
摘要
The use of digital elevation models (DEMs) that use airborne-based light detection and the ranging technique (airborne-based LiDAR) to understand large-scale geological structures has become important in geological surveying and mapping. Taking the Dongao Tunnel area in northeastern Taiwan as the study area, this study used the airborne-based LiDAR DEM and related value-added maps to interpret the topographic and geomorphic features of the area and identify locations for geological investigation. The characteristics of the rock mass were observed on-site and revealed by excavation of the highway tunnel in the study area; they were compared with the interpreted topographic and geomorphic features to determine the potential of using 1 m-resolution LiDAR DEM in geological surveys and in the evaluation of engineering characteristics of underground rock masses. The results of this study demonstrated that the DEM accurately captured geomorphic features: the strata composed of slate and schist had distinct appearances in both the clinometric map and the hillshade map; the locations of faults, lineaments, and drainage were consistent with those observed on-site, and the positions of these features were captured more accurately than those on conventional maps. Evident microrelief features, including the distribution of scarps, erosion gullies, and mini-drainage systems provide an effective basis for interpreting a deep-seated gravitational deformation slope and for an on-site inspection for validation. The use of high-resolution LiDAR DEM to interpret geomorphic features along with geological surveys provides a more comprehensive understanding of the survey area, supporting surveys and geological mapping, revealing the locations of potential slope failures, and enabling the assessment of tunnel engineering risks.
