Geological Conditions and Soil Deformations in the July 17, 2007, Chuetsu Off-Shore Earthquake
Abstract eng: Dwellings collapsed and water, gas and electricity supplies were cut by a powerful earthquake of M=6.7 on July 17th, 2007, which also caused a small radiation leak and fire at the world's biggest nuclear plant. Greater part of Kashiwazaki central area and the nuclear power plant cover sand dunes that have been developed along the shoreline. Cracks that appeared on road pavements show that the steep slopes of these sand dunes have subsided towards wet flatlands, and many dwellings were flattened near these “slip faces”.
