Investigation Report Aiming to Elucidate the Mechanism of Liquefaction Damage in the Muro District of Uchinada Town Due to the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake (Part 2)

Abstract

In the Muro district of Uchinada Town, which suffered significant liquefaction damage during the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, PDC (Piezodrive Cone) surveys and EM (Electromagnetic) explorations were conducted as part of a fundamental study aimed at elucidating the mechanism of liquefaction damage. These investigations sought to understand the detailed ground conditions and create geological cross-sections. Surface wave surveys were also performed to assess the looseness of the surface layer based on the conductivity distribution, and these results were compared with the actual liquefaction damage to confirm consistency.
