The contribution of remotely sensed data to the stress state evaluation in underground marble quarries

An in-depth knowledge of the geostructural characteristics territory is fundamental for optimizing design artificial structures. Feasibility, costs, duration, and issues works are strictly correlated with geological, geomechanical, in situ stress features area. Remotely sensed data represent a source information detecting tectonic structures that can be complementary to traditional surveys, advantage being cheaper, covering large areas reducing time surveying. The study regional setting together local structural define far-field correctly modeling induced during excavation activities monitoring variations. A multiscale multidisciplinary approach was set up applied an area Alpi Apuane marble district (Tuscany, Italy). Visually semi-automatically detected geological were analyzed from in-situ measurements four underground quarries, state. This also attempt bridge gap between geology analysis remotely definition, correlating on-field kinematic observations measurements.
