Abstract

This paper aims to investigate geological conditions of shallow volcanic soil at the landslides effected area in Aso Volcanological Laboratory, Minamiaso Village, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan that is caused by Kumamoto earthquake during April 14 to April 16, 2016. Earthquake-induced landslides occurred in Aso Volcanological Laboratory are characterized by long flows covering large areas with inclination of about 11o. The slope was composed dominantly of volcanic ash layers those have been altered to soil layers with different colours and engineering properties. Geological aspect of shallow soil profile includes volcanic lava and ash-fall tephra those are younger than 31ka lies on the old Takanoobane volcanic deposit (51ka). The Kusasenrigahama pumice-derived soil has been considered as the main source of the landslide.

Abstract

The energy approach for slope failure evaluation has been developed by examining the energy balance in the rigid block model, comparing it to innovative shake table tests of sand model slope. As a result, previous studies have shown evaluation method is proposed in which residual slope displacement can be given from the earthquake energy. Moreover, a framework of performance-based design for slopes during earthquakes has been proposed. However, this energy method needs to have more research to upgrade the energy method to a reliable design tool. Therefore, the energy-based method was applied to a case history during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The input earthquake energy defined as a base layer of the slope was extrapolated from severalstrong motion records. This paper discusses applicability of the energy-based method to a case history, during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, of the sliding-mass was travelled gentle slope along the clear slip plane, as a simplified rigid block model.

Abstract

A chain of earthquakes with a maximum moment magnitude of 7.3 MW struck Kumamoto prefecture and its vicinity from April 14-16th, 2016. It generated widespread landslides not only on steep slopes but also on gentle slopes. The landslides caused huge damages to nature, infrastructure, and loss of lives. Thus, it is crucial to determine the failure mechanism of those slopes which were formed by volcanic soil and to elucidate the effect of cyclic loading on strength characteristics of the soil. A series of investigations of the soil, which is orange colored, was conducted. Undrained static and cyclic triaxial tests were performed. Also, x-ray powder diffraction test, x-ray fluorescence test, and scanning electron microscope test were performed for further understanding of the material behavior. The triaxial test revealed semi dilative behavior under monotonic loading with small confining stress and contractive behavior on high confining stress. In the cyclic triaxial tests under in situ confining stress, cyclic mobility by lower cyclic stress and flow failure by higher cyclic stress was observed. Also, soil fabric, chemical composition, and mineral composition, which describe the deformation behavior and failure characteristics of the soil has been reported.

Abstract

On April 16th, 2016 Kumamoto earthquake registering 7 on Japanese scale caused liquefaction in many places around Kumamoto plain. However, considering the magnitude and the distance from the hypocenter, the liquefaction-induced damage was not so huge. Most of sand boiling was observed where liquefaction is likely to happen such as near waters and on an old river channel. In addition, black sand which seems to be volcanic soil was observed as ejecta of liquefaction in many places. This paper deals with the liquefaction characteristics of volcanic soil through physical and mechanical testing, microscopic observation by SEM and liquefaction susceptibility evaluation based on boring data. According to the physical testing, the grain size distribution was typical of liquefaction susceptible sand. Many of sand boils happened on the alluvial ground, and the thick strata of volcanic soil were found there. Based on the results of liquefaction evaluation, some locations have shown the liquefaction susceptibility in spite the fact that little occurrence of liquefaction took place at those locations.

Abstract

An early warning monitoring system is one of the most effective ways to reduce disasters induced by slope instability. The 2016 Ms 7.3 Kumamoto earthquake, which occurred in Kumamoto prefecture, Japan, induced more than 190 large scales of slope failures (123), debris flows (57) and landslides (10). A system of distributed tilt sensors for early warning monitoring of earthquake-induced landslides and slope failures has been proposed. Tilt angles in the surface layer of a slope were monitored using this method and, in several case studies, distinct behaviors in tilt angles in pre-failure stages were detected. Based on this behavior, it is recommended, from a regulatory perspective, a precaution be issued when the tilting rate of a slope is 0.01°/h, and a warning be issued when the tilting rate is 0.1°/h.

Abstract

The 2017 Kumamoto earthquake caused damages to many stone walls of Kumamoto castle. Paper shows facing curves of deformed or collapsed stone walls can be interpreted comparing with the traditional guideline contributed to the stone piling technique. Reconstruction works are aimed to return the collapsed stone wall to the original features. The original curve of stone wall is possibly evaluated at the remained stone wall adding the existing measurement data. There were many deformed stone wall of Kumamoto castle before the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The stone wall is congenitally fragile to deform. Deformation level is evaluated comparing the deformed curve of stone wall and the traditional stone piling guidelinel. Stability analysis of stone wall should include deflected facings of stone wall. Paper shows the role of depth of stone wall on the base of thin skeleton model of stability analysis.

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)

Abstract

The Kumamoto, Kyushu, Japan earthquakes began with an earthquake (M6.2) on the Hinagu Fault on April 14, 2016 followed by a second (M7.0) event on the Futagawa Fault, that on April 16. These shallow 10-11 deep km events are the strongest earthquakes recorded in Kyushu prefecture during the modern instrumental era. The United States’ National Science Foundation (US NSF) supported Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association conducted a reconnaissance of the region. These earthquakes resulted in substantial damage to infrastructure, buildings, cultural heritage of Kumamoto castle, roads and highways, slopes, and river embankments. Surface fault rupture produced offset to roads, buildings, river levees, and an agricultural dam. Surprisingly, given the extremely intense earthquake motions, liquefaction-induced damage was mostly limited to a few districts of Kumamoto City and in port areas, indicating that either the volcanic soils were largely unsusceptible to liquefaction or the presence of fines reduced the surficial manifestation of liquefaction and its effects. The important case histories identified by the study are [1] fault rupture through OhKirihata Dam; [2] subsidence in Aso Caldera; [3] fault rupture through Shimojin-Cho River Canal; [4] surprising paucity of liquefaction and its effects; and [5] possible identification of a nearly non-displacement lateral spread.
