ESTABLISHMENT OF SOIL DEFORMATION ANALYSIS METHOD AT KOBE AIRPORT

Abstract

  Kobe airport was constructed offshore Kobe port by reclamation and was opened at February 2006. The Holocene clay layer had accumulated sickly under the seabed that the airport was constructed, and it was important how the deformation of its soil layer influenced the airport facilities. Its deformation appeared to compose of the vertical and horizontal settlement, and the effective deformation analysis model was established by previous knowledge regard to predict its deformation, and besides, for grasping the deformation property the various monitoring apparatus were set up and the measurement of them had been made, and the analysis model had been reviewed by the measuring data. It was resulted that the soil deformation became to be predicted rightly and the improvement direction was presented.
