Feasibility of Artificial Slope Hazards Identification in Regional Mountainous Highway Using SBAS-InSAR Technique: A Case Study in Lishui, Zhejiang
Source abstract
Abstract
Safety status of artificial slopes is significant for the operation and maintenance of highway to mitigate the risk; thus, slope hazard identification is necessary. In order to realize large-area and low-cost application for regional highway, taking the Longqing Highway (length of 55 km) as a case study, the SBAS-InSAR (Small Baseline Subset-Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technique is adopted to detect the ground deformation and conduct hazard identification based on slope dip, aspect, geological data and historical hazard record. Field survey is carried out to verify the identified potential hazards. Results show that the detected potential hazards are distributed mainly in the areas consisting of granite residual and the Quaternary soil. Six potential hazards identified by the SBAS-InSAR-based method are roughly in accordance with the on-site verification. It is suggested that the SBAS-InSAR technique has the ability to obtain the slope deformation accurately and reveal the safe condition of the slopes. The SBAS-InSAR technique can be suitable for assistance in regional highway slope inspection.
