Abstract
The Tohoku earthquake hit the east Japan on March 11th, 2011. Many coastal areas along Pacific Ocean were destroyed by tsunami, while a large number of geo-disasters was caused by the earthquake over a large extent of area in the eastern Japan. In Miyagi prefecture, there are many artificial earth fills for housing estate that suffered from serious earthquake-induced damage. During the construction of these areas, cut-and-fill work was carried out, and most of the significant earthquake-induced damage could be found in a fill part. This report summarizes damage aspects of landfills that have so far been found by the author’s field investigations. [This abstract is not included in the PDF]
