Firstly, the identification of the main joint systems has been made through both manual and automatic analyses on the 3D slope model resulting from the surveys. Afterwards, the identified joint sets were considered to evaluate the slope stability conditions by attributing safety factor (SF) values to the typical rock blocks whose kinematic was proved as compatible with tests for toppling under two independent triggering conditions: hydrostatic water pressure within the joints and seismic action. The results from the remote investigation of the cliff slope provide geometrical information of the blocks more susceptible to instability and pointed out that limit equilibrium condition can be achieved for potential triggering scenarios in the whole outcropping slope.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10091475","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,17]],"date-time":"2018-09-17T14:42:20Z","timestamp":1537195340000},"page":"1475","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The Contribution of Terrestrial Laser Scanning to the Analysis of Cliff Slope Stability in Sugano (Central Italy)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0042-3444","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Mazzanti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5\u201300185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"NHAZCA S.r.l., Via Vittorio Bachelet, 12\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6461-2802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luca","family":"Schilir\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1277-7784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvatore","family":"Martino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Benedetta","family":"Antonielli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Brizi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NHAZCA S.r.l., Via Vittorio Bachelet, 12\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Brunetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NHAZCA S.r.l., Via Vittorio Bachelet, 12\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Margottini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISPRA\u2014Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale, Via Vitaliano Brancati, 48\u201300144 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Scarascia Mugnozza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro, 5\u201300185 Rome, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Turner, A.K., and Shuster, R.L.
