INVESTIGATION OF ROCKFALL PROBLEMS AROUND KASTAMONU CASTLE

摘要：

The Kastamonu Castle located on a sandstone hill with a height of 112m is a tourist destination and a historical site in the city of Kastamonu in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. The settlement area in the close vicinity of this castle was adversely affected from rockfalls that occurred in the past. The rockfall is controlled by a bedding plane and two sets of joints existing in the sandstone. In this study, two-dimensional rockfall analyses were performed along three profiles considered in the critical southern part of the area. Based on the obtained data, a preliminary rockfall hazard map was prepared and areas having risks were delineated. In addition, possible remedial measures were suggested on the basis of the field observations and the rockfall risk evaluations.
