Subsidence Map for the West Part of Tokyo Bay Shore Area Liquefied in the March 11th, Great East Japan Earthquake


Abstract eng:
The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11th, 2011 (Mw=9.0) caused severe liquefaction damage over the entire stretch of reclaimed lands along the coast of the Tokyo Bay. In response to this earthquake, liquefaction-induced ground subsidence map for the eastern part of Tokyo Bay Shore area was immediately prepared by comparing a set of the Digital Surface Models (DSMs) before (2006) and after (2014) the earthquake, and subtracting tectonic displacements. This soil subsidence map is further extended herein to cover the Keihin-Industrialized region that encompasses the metropolis of Tokyo and includes a coastal part of Kanagawa prefecture. The obtained map describes in detail the spatial distribution of the earthquake-induced soil subsidence in this large industrial belt along the northwestern shore of Tokyo Bay.
