Research Abstract |
Based on analyses of model test results, effectiveness of a complex dike structure using liquefaction-induced base isolation to improve performances under earthquake and high water conditions are verified. It employs a cutoff wall with minimum dimensions constructed in the middle part of earthen dikes that are underlain by a liquefiable sandy soil deposit. Based on site investigations conducted after the 2011 off the pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake, ductile performance of double sheet pile walls against tsunami overflow is revealed, which had been constructed as temporary structures.
