  • Landslide Detection, Monitoring, Prediction, Emergency Measures and Technical Instruction in a Busy City, Atami, Japan
    LANDSLIDE DETECTION, MONITORING, PREDICTION, EMERGENCY MEASURES AND TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION IN A BUSY CITY, ATAMI, JAPAN K. Fujisawa1, K. Higuchi1, A. Koda1 & T. Harada2 1 Public Works Research Institute, Japan (e-mail: [email protected]) 2 IST Co. Ltd., Japan (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: National highway No.135 is a main road that supports the regional economy and sightseeing spots in Izu Peninsula. Atami is a busy city and leading resort with many hotels and resort apartment buildings, attracting more than 8 million visitors every year. In late 2003/early 2004, warning phenomena appeared just before a landslide destroyed a slope along the highway. The road office administrators were concerned that the community would be seriously paralyzed if the landslide intercepted traffic and caused hotels and buildings to collapse. There had been several small landslides at the bottom of the slope in August and September, causing traffic jams and the successive rupture of water service pipes buried alongside the road. However, the administrators did not realize that the series of phenomena were caused by landslides. Two months later in November, a water service pipe ruptured again, and the road office finally investigated the slope. This time, a landslide scarp and cracks were found on the slope, and the administrators realized that the series of small August/September phenomena had been caused by a landslide 75 m long and 75 m wide. Monitoring of landslide activity by extensometers was quickly started, by which time the slide velocity had accelerated to more than 5 mm/day. On December 6, the sliding velocity reached 24.8 mm/day, and a landslide was predicted to occur at noon on January 5.
