Abstract

Rock slope monitoring is a major aim in territorial risk assessment and mitigation. The high velocity that usually characterizes the failure phase of rock instabilities makes the traditional instruments based on slope deformation measurements not applicable for early warning systems. On the other hand the use of acoustic emission records has been often a good tool in underground mining for slope monitoring. In this paper the design and installation of a monitoring system based on acoustic emission to interpret and forecast a large rock instability phenomenon is reported together with some preliminary geophysical and geomechanical studies performed on the test site of Madonna del Sasso (NW Italy).
