2D-LiDAR-Sensor-Based Retaining Wall Displacement Measurement System
APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL(2022)
Abstract
The displacement of retaining walls is measured using inclinometers in order to evaluate the safety of the wall. However, inclinometers have three problems: they (1) are difficult to install, (2) have local displacement detection, and (3) are measured using manpower. Consequently, a two-dimensional (2D) LiDAR sensor-based retaining wall displacement measurement system that facilitates installation and three-dimensional (3D) displacement detection (more economically feasible than inclinometers) was developed in order to overcome the aforementioned limitations. The developed system collects 3D point cloud data about the retaining wall by rotating the 2D LiDAR sensor 360 degrees at a constant speed. Laboratory experiments were performed using a simulated deformation model to evaluate the displacement measurement performance of the system, which had a root-mean-square error of 2.82 mm at approximately 20 m. The economic feasibility of the system was analyzed, which revealed that the system was economically feasible, with a benefit/cost ratio and breakeven point of 3.52 and 2.71 years, respectively.
