A FEASIBILITY STUDY ON RECLAIMED GROUND FOR RESIDENCE AREA BY RECYCLING DISASTER WASTES

–Mechanical properties by laboratory tests–

Abstract

By the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, a great amount of disaster waste and tsunami deposit was produced. Authors aimed to apply the research findings to reclaimed ground for residential land using useless disaster wastes. In this paper, laboratory element tests were performed to verify the mechanical properties. The test results shown the values of stiffnesses and hysteretic damping ratios of geomaterials were depending on the mixtures materials, and compressive strengths increased substantially due to accretion of the density using such as mud as tsunami deposit.
