The accurate geometrical information obtained, was used as 
input for the PHASE 2-6.0 geotechnical software of 
Rockscience Inc. for preliminary geostructural FE analysis and 
allowed a) the reproduction of case history of an intensely 
distorted part of the North Wall through back analysis 
procedure and the calibration of mechanical parameters of 
materials involved as well and b) the evaluation of potential 
effect of reburial embankment on the North Wall in contact, 
with use of the calibrated parameters derived from the previous 
case. 
The results of the analyses are proven promising for a 
successful geostructural simulation of the circuit wall. 
Considering the serious wall’s “pathology”, the correct 
geostructural simulation, based on accurate geometric data is 
indispensable for the design analysis of the wall’s stability 
measures in the near future.
