Development of Seismic Design Criteria for River Facilities Against Large Earthquakes

Abstract eng:
This paper introduces the fundamental concept of seismic design of river facilities against large-scale earthquakes described in the “Performance-based Seismic Design Criteria for River Facilities (Draft)” recently compiled by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation (MLIT) on 2007.3. River facilities include levees, self-supporting structural levees, sluiceways, water gates, weirs and drainage pumping station. As background, characteristics of damage induced in river facilities by past earthquakes, and the history of revision of the “Technical Criteria for River Works and Sabo Works (Draft) Volume of Design” are also briefly reported.
