Abstract: |
The heritage-protected ensemble of Castle Brewery, boarding school and medieval Cave Castle forms the centre of Stein a.d. Traun, Traunstein County, Bavaria/Germany. In large parts of the area, the buildings nestle to or are built directly into a vertical or even overhanging rock slope up to 50 m high, formed of Quaternary conglomerates. Potential rock or block falls as well as larger scale instabilities in this slope represent hazards to the infrastructure below it, as was dramatically shown by the tragic event in January 2010. In order to monitor changes in the rock mass, geotechnical monitoring and early-warning systems were installed in two areas in 2011. This article describes the specific structural and geomechanical situation of the two investigation areas and presents the monitoring concept and the first measured data. |
