Development of support system to evaluate stability of the artificial fills for housings during earthquake

Abstract

It is necessary to evaluate the relative risk of seismic sliding collapse to estimate damage effectively on the extensive land reclamation fills, and it is desirable to be evaluated from only common geographical information in all fills through the primary screening in accordance with the guideline for movement estimation investigation in extensive residential fill sites published by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Therefore, the authors conducted development and verification of the support system to be able to measure fill shape and evaluate relative stability for seismic sliding collapse.
