Bandelier National Monument, NM, USA

ODB was hired to structurally assess a 600 year old cavate wall located in Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico, USA. The project involved development of a 3D discrete element model from laser scan point cloud data in order to evaluate the stability of the wall under typical loading conditions and considering expected erosion.
