Recent Advances in Lifeline Earthquake Engineering
TCLEE 38 contains 86 peer-reviewed papers covering recent developments in lifeline earthquake engineering presented at the Sixth China-Japan-U.S. Trilateral Symposium on Lifeline Earthquake Engineering, held in Chengdu, China, May 28-June 1, 2013.
This volume contains papers of a Symposium held April 1994 in Xi'an, China, jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Construction, China, Kobe Univ., Japan, and Nat. Science Found. (NSF), U.S.A. The main objective of this Symposium series is to provide a forum for the Chinese, Japanese and U.S. professional lifeline engineers and researchers for mutual exchange of recent results of investigations on the dynamic behavior, design, system reliability, disaster mitigation planning and practices of various lifelines including pipelines, bridges and transportation systems and to promote new technology developments for implementation into practical applications.
The geology of the Japanese Islands is enormously complicated because of the active tectonism that has taken place on the boundary between the Pacific and Eurasian plates. Geological formations there are intricately deformed and displaced by many active faults. Hence, in planning for and siting large construction projects, such as nuclear power stations, underground power stations, and the underground facility for High-Level Radioactive Waste (HLW), more detailed investigations are necessary than in more stable parts of the world. Only then can assessments be made as to the long-term stability, hydrological characteristics and mechanical characteristics of geological conditions.This book offers recent research studies in engineering geology in Japan. It contains 27 papers of scope and importance sufficient to allow engineering geologists throughout the world to understand more of the present state of research and study in Japan.The title also includes a number of current topics in which Japanese engineering geologists have participated: the planning for and siting of large construction, such as nuclear power stations, underground power stations, and the underground facility for High-Level Radioactive Waste (HLW); the construction project of highways and nuclear power stations and new energy developments such as those for geothermal energy; the countermeasures for natural hazards caused by earthquakes, landslides, and slope, and stone deterioration; and alteration because of weathering at and near the Earth's surface.
