Cultural Heritage Preservation
Revolutionizing Cultural Heritage Preservation with AI-Powered Stability Assessment
The stability challenges associated with the rock mass in grotto temples are significant and stem from a prolonged history of excavation, environmental factors, and anthropogenic activities. Due to the diverse variations in disease formation mechanisms, influencing factors, material properties, and structural characteristics, an integrated evaluation system has not been established. This study integrates drone photogrammetry, ground-based laser scanning, and fundamental engineering geological surveys to propose a comprehensive framework for assessing the seismic stability of Cave 165 at North Grotto Temple, paving the way for adaptive conservation.

Vulnerable Zones and Instability Risks
A detailed assessment identifies key areas within Cave 165 most susceptible to instability under seismic conditions, driven by factors such as geometric amplification and structural discontinuities.
| Feature | Dynamic Response Characteristics | Instability Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Cave Roof |
|
Highest risk due to lack of bedrock support and energy accumulation. |
| West Wall (exposed surface) |
|
Most sensitive to seismic response, prone to dynamic amplification. |
| South Wall |
|
High risk, pronounced directional effect due to geological structures. |
| North Wall |
|
Relatively lower risk compared to south and west walls, but still requires monitoring. |
| Cave Floor |
|
Lowest risk, acts as a buffer and damping mechanism for seismic energy. |
Strategic Conservation and Digital Twin Integration
Based on findings, targeted conservation measures are proposed for Cave 165, alongside a vision for integrating these insights into advanced digital twin platforms for proactive, intelligent heritage management.
Targeted Conservation Strategies for Cave 165
Based on the comprehensive stability assessment, specific, targeted conservation and reinforcement measures are proposed for Cave 165. The findings highlight the importance of an integrated approach to protect this irreplaceable cultural heritage.
1. Roof Reinforcement: A composite reinforcement technique, integrating rock bolts, wire mesh, and shotcrete, is recommended to enhance stability while preserving aesthetic and cultural integrity.
2. West Wall Confinement: The rock mass along the western wall requires further confinement, and isolation pads or energy-dissipating dampers should be installed to mitigate seismic amplification effects and prevent potential sliding or collapse.
3. Monitoring & Maintenance: Areas with low seismic influence but significant heterogeneity or concentrated fractures should be subject to regular monitoring and maintenance, especially during periods of heightened geological hazard risk.
4. Adaptive Monitoring System: To ensure effectiveness, a long-term, adaptive monitoring system should be established to provide timely and scientific support for evaluating the cave's response to seismic or other disturbances, feeding into future digital twin and AI-aided systems.
