Abstract eng:
The 2007 Niigataken Chuetsu-oki (Off Mid-Niigata) earthquake centered around Kashiwazaki City and Kariwa Village along the coast of the Sea of Japan in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, on July 16, 2007. Liquefaction of old river channels and dune sand hinterlands, a deep seated lateral flow of sand dune deposits, landslides of banking that buried valleys and damage to houses and infrastructures accompanied by the failure of natural slopes were remarkable. Moreover, the land subsidence of the world's largest nuclear power plant site was excessive. Subsequent surveys revealed that the floor on post footings of almost all residences heaved up in the shape of a convex by soil liquefaction.
