PREFACE During the period 1974-1979, multidisciplinary teams of sci- entists from the International Institute for Applied Systems Ana- lysis (IIASA) examined four large-scale development programs: the Tennessee Valley Authority, a regional development program launched in 1934 by the government of the United Stat.es of America: the Bratsk-Ilimsk Territorial Production Complex, a regional develop- ment program launched in 1952 by the government of the USSR; the Shinkansen Program in Japan, which began in 1969; and the Kinki Integrated Regional Development Program, on which research work began in Japan in 1973. The first two of these studies have al- ready been reported on [for the TVA study, see Knop (1976), and Knop (1979), and for the BITPC study, see Knop (1977) and Knop and Straszak (1978)l; and the extensive factual basis for the Shinkansen study has also been published [see Straszak and Tuch 1980) 1. This volume discusses the issues that arose in the stuly of the Shinkansen Program in transportation, railway, environmental, regional, and national development. A final volume in this series on the work in the Kinki region of Japan is in preparation. The investigation of the Shinkansen Program was supported and assisted by The Japan Committee for IIASA; the IIASA team is particularly grateful to Professors H. drisawa, K. Miyasawa, and Y. Suzuki, Doctor S. Tamura, and A. Yamada. The extensive co- operation of the Japanese National Railways made the study pos- sible: Dr. M. NishiCa and the personnel of the JNR staff was especially appreciated. The Shinkansen study used an approach developed within IIASA for the TVA and Bratsk-Ilimsk case studies, together with the ap- proach elaborated by David Fischer (USA) and used by him in studies dealing with Canadian arctic and North Sea oil development. The initial procedure of analysis, originated by Hans Knop (GDR) was then combined with extensions proposed by other participating scholars, so that an overall approach evolved, whose implementa- tion was made possible through formation of an interdisciplinary East-West team of researchers at IIASA. The field study team consisted of these persons: Professor A. Straszak (Poland) Professor H. Knop (GDRI Professor D. Fischer (USA) Professor M. Albegov (USSR) Dr. S. Ikeda (Japan) Dr. D. von Winterfeldt (FRG) Professor A. van Bilderbeeck (Netherlands) Professor C. Law (Canada) Mr. J. Harmon (USA Department of Transportation) Mr. J. Owsinski (Poland) Mr. R. Tuch (USA) Professor H. Strobe1 (GDR) and Dr. R. Genser (Austria) joined the study group in preparing this volume. They had visited Japan earlier and played a key role in the conference-with which the work began. A. Straszak CONTENTS Page PART I: THE APPROACH 1 1. GENERAL INTRODUCTION (A. Straszak) 3 2.

HSR is a capital-intensive infrastructure, in which multiple subsystems are closely integrated. Also, HSR operation lasts for a long period, and its performance indicators are continuously altered by incremental updates.

  • Response and Earthquake Induced Damage of Underground Structures in Rock Mass
    Response and Earthquake Induced Damage of Underground Structures in Rock Mass Ömer Aydan* Yoshimi Ohta* Melih Geni** Naohiko Tokashiki*** K. Ohkubo**** *Tokai University, Department of Marine Civil Eng., Shizuoka, Japan Email: [email protected] **Zonguldak Karaelmas University, Mining Engineering Dept., Zonguldak, Turkey ***Ryukyu University, Civil Engineering Dept., Okinawa, Japan ****Nakanihon Expressway Company, Tokyo, Japan ABSTRACT Underground structures are generally known as earthquake-resistant structures as compared to surface structures. Nevertheless, the recent earthquakes showed that underground structures are also vulnerable to earthquakes. There may be several reasons for such damage such as high ground motions and permanent ground movements. This study attempts to describe various forms of damage to underground structures such as tunnels, caverns, natural caves and abandoned mines during major earthquakes. Results of various model tests on shaking table are also presented to show the effect of ground shaking on the response and collapse of underground structures in continuum and discontinuum. Furthermore, some empirical equations are proposed to assess the damage to underground structures, which may be useful for quick assessments of possible damage. Keywords: Underground opening; Earthquake damage; Fault; Shaking; Concrete lining 1. INTRODUCTION It is well known that the underground structures such as tunnels and powerhouses are generally resistant against earthquake-induced motions (Dowding and Rozen, 1978; Sharma & Judd, 1991). However, they may be damaged when permanent ground movements occur in/along the underground structures. There are several examples of damage to tunnels due to permanent ground movements during, for example, 1930 Tanna, 1978 Izu-Oshima-Kinkai, 1995 Kobe, 1999 Düzce-Bolu, 1999 Chi-chi, 2004 Chuetsu, 2005 Kashmir and 2008 Wenchuan earthquakes.
