Basic Study on Initial Deformation of Embankment due to Rainfall by Experiment and Simulation [PDF]
, 2015 降雨浸透により局所的な変状や破壊が繰返し発生するような進行性破壊において，のり面の初期変状が確認された段階で適切な対策工を行った際には，その後の大規模崩壊を防止できると考えられる。このことから，進行性破壊時の初期変状発生のメカニズム解明や予測手法確立の意義は大きい。そこで本研究では，飽和・不飽和浸透流解析および弾塑性有限要素解析を用いて，模型盛土への散水時の盛土内水位上昇と進行性破壊が発生する前の初期のり面変状の再現計算を試みた。解析結果から，飽和 ...

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Random Characteristics of Hydraulic Gradient through Three-Dimensional Multilayer Embankment
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 The distribution characteristics of hydraulic gradient in embankment are closely related to seepage failure. Seepage failures such as flowing soil and piping will lead to serious damage and even the overall failure of embankment.
