  • Several Features of Liquefaction-Induced Damage to Houses and Buried Lifelines During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake
    Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, March 1-4, 2012, Tokyo, Japan SEVERAL FEATURES OF LIQUEFACTION-INDUCED DAMAGE TO HOUSES AND BURIED LIFELINES DURING THE 2011 GREAT EAST JAPAN EARTHQUAKE Susumu YASUDA1 and Keisuke ISHIKAWA2 1 Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Saitama, Japan, [email protected] 2 Assistant, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Tokyo Denki University, Saitama, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The 2011 Great East Japan earthquake caused severe liquefaction in Tohoku and Kanto districts. About 27,000 timber houses, a lot of buried sewage pipes and roads were damaged due to liquefaction. In Tokyo Bay area, the very long duration of the main shock and an aftershock 29 minutes later probably induced the severe liquefaction. Sidewalks and alleys buckled at several sites, probably due to a kind of sloshing of liquefied ground. Moreover, much sand boiled from the ground and the ground subsided significantly because the liquefied soils were very fine. Key Words: Great East Japan earthquake, liquefaction, house, sewage pipe, road INTRODUCTION The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, with a magnitude of Mw=9.0 occurred in the Pacific Ocean about 130 km off the northeast coast of Japan’s main island on March 11, 2011. Liquefaction occurred in a wide area of reclaimed land along Tokyo Bay, though the epicentral distance was very large, about 380 to 400 km. Much land has been reclaimed in the Tokyo Bay area since the seventeenth century. Liquefaction has been induced during past earthquakes, such as 1923 Kanto Earthquake and 1987 Chibake-toho-oki Earthquake.

Ltd., Japan Received 17 January 2012; received in revised form 14 September 2012; accepted 14 October 2012 Available online 9 January 2013 Abstract The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake caused the severe liquefaction of reclaimed lands in the Tokyo Bay area, from Shinkiba in Tokyo through Urayasu, Ichikawa and Narashino Cities to Chiba City. However, the reclaimed lands that had been improved by the sand compaction pile method, the gravel drain method or other methods did not liquefy. The reclaimed lands that did liquefy had been constructed after around 1966 with soil dredged from the bottom of the bay. The dredged and filled soils were estimated to have been liquefied by the earthquake. Seismic intensities in the liquefied zones were not high, although the liquefied grounds were covered with boiled sand. Most likely it was the very long duration of the main shock, along with the large aftershock that hit 29 min later, which induced the severe liquefaction. Sidewalks and alleys buckled at several sites, probably due to a kind of sloshing around of the liquefied ground. Moreover, much sand boiled from the ground and the ground subsided significantly because the liquefied soil was very fine.

METHODS AND RESULTS We utilized the Japanese multicenter registry data of 1375 patients who underwent CT prior to TAVR. Sarcopenia status was defined by the CT-derived SMM index (threshold: men, 55.4 cm2/m2; women, 38.9 cm2/m2).

  • Damage to Houses in Urayasu Due to Liquefaction by the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake
    Damage to houses in Urayasu due to liquefaction by the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean earthquake S. Yasuda, K. Ishikawa & N. Ozawa Tokyo Denki University,Japan ) SUMMARY On 11 March 2011 The Tohoku-Pacific Ocean earthquake caused wide and severe liquefaction in the reclaimed lands along Tokyo Bay in Japan. Urayasu is the most severely damaged city where many houses settled and tilted resulting in the problem for inhabitants to live in the damaged houses because they feel giddy and nausea. In Tokyo Bay area, the very long duration of the main shock and an aftershock 29 minutes later probably caused serious settlement and inclination of houses. Many inhabitants are facing to the serious problem how to restore the damaged houses. Complicated problem is the re-liquefaction during aftershocks or future earthquakes. The best way is to improve the ground under houses by compaction or other methods. The authors conducted several analyses to demonstrate appropriate depth of the compaction zone and concluded that about 3 m of depth may be enough to prevent obvious settlement. Keywords: Liquefaction, house, settlement, countermeasure 1. INTRODUCTION Many houses have been damaged due to liquefaction during previous earthquake in Japan. However, actual damage to inhabitants has not been highlighted up to the 2000 Tottoriken-seibu earthquake which caused severe settlement of numerous timber houses in two housing lots. Of them, about 100 houses settled and tilted at Abehikona housing lot in Yonago City (Yasuda et al., 2004, Yasuda and Ariyama, 2008). The area of the housing development is almost a square of 360 m x 360 m.

  • Soil Liquefaction in Tokyo Bay Area Due to the 2011 Tohoku (Japan) Earthquake
    15 SOIL LIQUEFACTION IN TOKYO BAY AREA DUE TO THE 2011 TOHOKU (JAPAN) EARTHQUAKE Rolando Orense1, Suguru Yamada2 and Masahide Otsubo3 SUMMARY A devastating earthquake hit the Tohoku and Kanto regions of Japan on 11 March 2011, causing extensive damage to life and property as a result of a large-scale tsunami and damage to nuclear power plants. Although located about 400 km away from the epicentre, many residential and commercial buildings and lifeline facilities in Tokyo Bay area suffered extensive damage due to soil liquefaction and associated ground deformation. This paper discusses the results of the damage investigation conducted in the area after the earthquake, with emphasis on liquefaction-induced damage to buildings, roads, lifelines and other infrastructure. In addition, the performance of ground improved by various remediation techniques is discussed. Finally, lessons learned from the event are summarised. damaged infrastructure have been repaired by that time, many INTRODUCTION of the damaged structures, especially houses and manholes, At 2:46 pm (local time) on 11 March 2011, a gigantic remained in their damaged state. During the reconnaissance, earthquake with moment magnitude Mw 9.0 shocked the focus was made on the effect of liquefaction and ground Tohoku and Kanto regions in eastern part of Japan. deformation on structures as well as the performance of Considered as the biggest to hit the country in modern times, improved ground.
