Port structures were damaged over a wide area of eastern Japan by the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake. Though many damages of quay walls were due to lique [...]

When liquefaction occurs owing to seismic motion, erupted sand boils caused by increased excess pore water pressure are observed on the ground surface. Grain size analysi [...]

Methods for designing coastal parapet levees have not yet been developed for design seismic ground motion based on the Japanese design standard for port facilities, and n [...]

Ports are required to play the important role of a base for the transportation of emergency supplies following large earthquakes. However, it is difficult to prevent defo [...]

Earthquake-resistant technologies have improved, e.g., with the introduction of seismic base isolation, since many container cranes for loading and unloading vessels were [...]

Use of a radar chart is proposed as a tool for evaluating the accuracy of the seismic response analysis of a ground, as the result of the seismic response analysis is use [...]

A method of evaluating deformation of asphalt pavements on the ground improved by grid-type improvement was examined during and after earthquake. First, a liquefaction an [...]

This paper aims to show the significance of vibration properties in the evaluation of the sliding displacement of the structures such as retaining wall and soil slope. Fo [...]
