STABILITY DETERIORATION OF CLIFF FACES DUE TO HISTORICAL MINING IN THE ELBE SANDSTONES PROTECTED AREA

Original language description

The paper is a methodological study for registering abandoned mining sites and for the assessment ofstability of artificial sandstone outcrops.Thestudypresents partial results of the expert cooperation between geologists and historians in the Bohemian Switzerland (Elbe Sandstones) area focused on mapping and documentation of old quarriesand mining pits.More than three thousand abandoned quarries for building stone were newly mapped and registered within the study area. Attention was given not only to the preserved relics after mining and their historical context: methods of stone extraction were also described, and the current state of quarries and mining areas was documented. Many of them represent unstable quarry faces prone to rockfall.The present survey and documentation of old quarries identified hitherto unknown sites of potentialhazard, where old quarry faces or their parts are endangered by rockfalland can represent a potential risk in populated or tourist-visited areas (e.g.,the Elbe River canyon between Děčín and the state border, Suchá Kamenice River valley,Rabštejnské údolí Valley, KvádrberkHill, Děčín–Podmokly,Děčín–Dolní Oldřichov, Ludvíkovice and Janská areas, Pekelský důl Valley, etc). Catastrophic events have already occurred in some quarries, and severallocalities had to be technically secured by stabilizing works recently, fresh rockfalls from 2021/2022 were also registered. One of the aims was therefore to create an inventory map of risk related to old quarries and the assessment of the present-day degree of hazard.Three-dimensional models of selected quarry faceswere created using modern technology including calculation of cubic capacity of excavated material and collapsed masses. The complete results are included in the map geodatabase, which is under constructionand which will be exploitableforanimplementation within the information-educational and state-administration systems.
