Abstract

The presence of caves and, in general, of subterranean landforms produced by karst processes is among the most typical geological features of the territory of Apulia, southern Italy. Several examples can be counted throughout the region, especially in the Murge area. The need to perform geo-structural analysis aimed at evaluating the stability conditions is especially significant for those caves open to the public. In the Murge area, the cave of Saint Michael at Minervino Murge is among the most famous. Beside the religious and historical interests, the whole cave needed a detailed analysis of the rock mass stability, both for protection of its architectural and archaeological values, and for safeguard of the visitors. At these aims, we performed various digital surveys by means of laser scanners and drones equipped with high-resolution cameras, in order to understand the geological setting of the entire cave and to identify unstable blocks.

意大利巴里米内维诺穆尔热圣米迦勒洞穴地质结构监测和虚拟文件的三维数字分析

洞穴的存在，以及岩溶过程产生的地下地貌，是意大利南部阿普利亚地区最典型的地质特征之一。在整个地区，尤其是在穆尔日（Murge）地区，这样的例子不胜枚举。对于那些向公众开放的洞穴来说，进行地质结构分析以评估其稳定性尤为重要。在 Murge 地区，位于 Minervino Murge 的圣米迦勒洞穴是最著名的洞穴之一。除了宗教和历史意义之外，为了保护其建筑和考古价值，也为了保护游客的安全，整个洞穴需要对岩体的稳定性进行详细分析。为此，我们利用激光扫描仪和配备高分辨率相机的无人机进行了各种数字勘测，以了解整个洞穴的地质环境并识别不稳定岩块。
