  • Investigation and Shaking Table Tests of Subway Structures of the Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake
    1043 INVESTIGATION AND SHAKING TABLE TESTS OF SUBWAY STRUCTURES OF THE HYOGOKEN-NANBU EARTHQUAKE T IWATATE1, Y KOBAYASHI2, H KUSU3 And K RIN4 SUMMARY A detailed reconnaissance survey was conducted at the underground structures such as subways, mountain tunnels, multipurpose underground ducts and other underground structures, etc. around the Hanshin District caused by the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake. Among them, the Daikai subway station is the first subway structure that completely collapsed due to the earthquake. The damage mechanism of the subway structure, especially at the center column, and the dynamic soil- structure interaction and the dynamic forces acting on the structure were clarified through the scaled model shaking table tests and the simulation analyses. From this study, it was verified that the subway structure collapsed due to lack of the load carrying capacity against shear at the center column. INTRODUCTION The Hyogoken-nanbu earthquake of January 17, 1995 caused severe damages to underground structures, such as subway structures and tunnels in Kobe. Among them, a damage to subway structure that completely collapsed due to the earthquake, was one of the astonishing event, because of the fact that underground structures have been considered to be relatively safe from earthquake effect compared to structures constructed on the ground. The author, who belongs to the underground structural engineering group of the Committee of Earthquake Engineering under Japan Society of Civil Engineering (1996), implemented a reconnaissance survey on the damages to the subway structures and tunnels. This paper describes the outline of the damages, the destructive peculiarities of the subway structures, and the experimental study on the dynamic behavior and the damage mechanism of the structure, especially at the center column through the shaking table tests and the simulation analyses.

  • ESCAP PPP Case Study #1
    Public-Private Partnerships Case Study #1 Traffic Demand Risk: The case of Bangkok’s Skytrain (BTS) by Mathieu Verougstraete and Isabelle Enders (March 2014) The following case study examines the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain. TRAFFIC DEMAND RISK FIGURE 1 : ACTUAL/FORECAST TRAFFIC Even though literature is rich about theory and practice of traffic forecasting, insufficient attention has been paid to the predicted accuracy of traffic forecasting models and the consequences of occurring errors. Emperical studies suggest however that traffic forecasts in the transport sector are characterized by large errors and considerable optimism bias.1 This statement goes in line with the review conducted on PPP projects financed by the European Investment Bank which states that major issues in road projects BANGKOK BTS: CASE SUMMARY occurred because of traffic performance has been overestimated. Findings disclose that Bangkok covers about 606 square miles 1/2 of toll road projects failed to meet their and is densely populated.

Despite the physical barriers that can hamper overall transport development in the country, the Philippines has found ways to create and integrate an extensive transportation system that connects the over 7,000 islands that surround the archipelago, and it has shown that through the Filipinos' ingenuity and creativity, they have created several transport forms that are unique to the country. Contents • 1 Land transportation o 1.1 Road System 1.1.1 Main highways 1.1.2 Expressways o 1.2 Mass Transit 1.2.1 Bus Companies 1.2.2 Within Metro Manila 1.2.3 Provincial 1.2.4 Jeepney 1.2.5 Railways 1.2.6 Other Forms of Mass Transit • 2 Water transportation o 2.1 Ports and harbors o 2.2 River ferries o 2.3 Shipping companies • 3 Air transportation o 3.1 International gateways o 3.2 Local airlines • 4 History o 4.1 1940s 4.1.1 Vehicles 4.1.2 Railways 4.1.3 Roads • 5 See also • 6 References • 7 External links Land transportation Road System The Philippines has 199,950 kilometers (124,249 miles) of roads, of which 39,590 kilometers (24,601 miles) are paved.
