Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Ground Control Point (GCP) distribution on the accuracy of UAV-based slope mapping and stability analysis. Three GCP configurations—top-only, vertical, and diagonal—were tested. Accuracy was evaluated using UAV photogrammetry and compared to GPS geodetic data. The vertical GCP setup produced the highest accuracy, reducing total RMSE by 89.6% (from 52.93 mm to 5.50 mm). The diagonal configuration, while being slightly less accurate (61.26 mm RMSE), improved spatial coverage. Slope stability analysis using the finite element method (FEM) confirmed the reliability of the vertical setup for slope assessment. These results demonstrated that optimizing GCP layout could significantly improve model precision while reducing fieldwork. This work contributes to efficient and accurate slope monitoring with fewer GCPs, making it suitable for large-scale geotechnical applications. Future research will focus on applying these configurations to vegetated and more complex terrains and integrating automation for broader and scalable implementation.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of buttress walls (BWs) in reducing wall deflection and ground anchor force in deep excavations supported by tied-back retaining systems. A three-dimensional finite element model (3D FEM) was employed for the study. First, a well-documented excavation project located in Vietnam that adopted BW in combination with ground anchors was first back-analyzed to validate the numerical model. The results showed good agreement between computed wall deflections and field measurements across all excavation stages. In the Vietnam case study, the BW was temporary and was demolished after the final excavation stage. The ground anchors installed were to limit the wall deflection during BW demolition. Parametric studies were then conducted to assess two BW configurations: inner BW (I-BW), placed within the excavation area (Vietnam case), and outer BW (O-BW), located behind the retaining wall. The two configurations were analyzed with and without ground anchors. In addition, one run with only ground anchors was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of BW vs. ground anchors. Results show that both BW configurations reduced wall deflections and anchor forces, with O-BW performing slightly better in the absence of ground anchors due to additional frictional resistance between the BW and the retained soil throughout excavation stages. When ground anchors are used, the difference in performance between I-BW and O-BW becomes negligible due to increased system stiffness. For wall retained by ground anchors only, the deflection of wall is flexible, whilst wall retained by BW only shows rigid behaviour. The maximum deflection, however, is of similar magnitude when the wall is retained by O-BW only and ground anchors only. The deflection is slightly larger when retained by I-BW only. The findings highlight the potential of combining BWs with anchors to increase the rigidity of structural system and enhance excavation safety, particularly under complex soil conditions
