Abstract

The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.0 (Japanese intensity = 7) that struck on April 16 brought devastation in many areas of Kumamoto Prefecture and partly in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu Region, Japan. The earthquake preceded a foreshock of magnitude 6.5 (Japanese intensity = 7) on April 14. This paper summarizes the damage brought to geotechnical structures by the two consecutive earthquakes within a span of twenty-eight hours. The paper highlighted some of the observed damage and identifies reasons for such damage. The geotechnical challenges towards mitigation of losses from such earthquakes are also suggested.

Abstract

In the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016, landslides occurred in many place on moderately inclined slope in the Takanoobane lava dome. In this research, we focus on the orange-colored pumice layer (Kpfa), which is predisposed to the landslide, and show the distribution using the resistivity imaging method on a slope where no landslide has occurred. According to the survey results, the slope without the landslide was observed when the slope was hard to slip mechanically due to the Kpfa layer was distributed in a shallow place or paleogeography of the foundation layer surface (Takanoobane lava)
