- Abstract Due to insufficient backfilling and compaction, voids existing around the bottom of a buried pipe can have a negative effect on the mechanical behavior of the pipe. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has been widely utilized in civil engineering as fill, backfill, moisture cutoff, and impact mitigation materials for falling rocks because of its light weight and workability. In this study, centrifuge model tests were conducted in order to investigate the possibility of pipe failure when voids existed around the bottom of the buried pipe, and the effect of installing EPS blocks as a countermeasure. In the test, a model polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe having a diameter of 140 mm was buried in the dry sand and loaded at the ground surface in a centrifugal field of 21G. Cases with voids around the bottom of the buried pipe and with EPS blocks were studied, and the differences in the pipe mechanical behavior under standard backfill conditions were discussed. The loading conditions and the shape of the EPS were varied. The test results showed that the loss of soil around the bottom of the pipe caused a stress concentration by a factor of more than 2.5 compared to the typical burial condition, and could directly cause pipe failure. In addition, it is clear that EPS installation was an effective countermeasure to avoid the risk of insufficient compaction, because it did not significantly affect pipe deformation and strain distribution, although the earth pressure tended to concentrate slightly at the bottom of the pipe.Lead, Aug. 2024, ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, English, International magazine, Co-authored internationally[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Abstract The number of cases of damage to reservoirs due to debris flows has increased. In this study, granular material was released down the slope in a flume model to observe the debris flow morphology in a reservoir and to examine the impact pressure on a model dam embankment. The model flume had a slope angle of 30°, slope section width of 300 mm, and reservoir section width of 800 mm, and a model embankment with pressure and water pressure gauges was installed. Several experiments were conducted by varying the grain size of the granular materials to 3, 6 mm, mixed, and initial water storage levels. Observations from a high-speed camera indicate that when the debris flow enters the reservoir, the momentum rapidly decreases immediately after inflow. However, a solitary wave was generated, with heights reaching up to 2.5 times the initial water level. Additionally, during the impact of the debris flow on the model embankment, a large impact pressure was instantaneously generated. The magnitude and frequency of the occurrence tended to be more pronounced when the grain size was large. Additionally, the instantaneous impact pressure reached approximately twice the average impact pressure. However, with the exception of instantaneous large impact pressures, the existing equations used in the design of Sabo dams and coefficients with a specific range proposed in previous studies can be used to successfully calculate the impact pressure acting on the embankment in relation to the velocity.Lead, Jul. 2024, Paddy and Water Environment, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Abstract In this study, we proposed a new method which mitigates pipe uplifting by utilizing geocells and geotextiles. The method resulted in labor saving in construction. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we reproduced pipe uplift by conducting push-up tests using a 150-mm-diameter pipe. The test results showed that the proposed method increased the peak resistance and the resistance at large displacement by 1.47 and 3.35 times, respectively, compared to the unreinforced method. The proposed method also increased the peak resistance by 1.13 times compared to the conventional method widely used in Japan. It demonstrated consistently high resistance even after the peak. This indicated that the proposed method is very effective as a countermeasure against pipe uplift. Furthermore, increasing the overall width of the geocell improved the resistance. In this study, two different approaches were used to evaluate the uplift resistance of the pipe. The approaches showed that, with geocell reinforcement, most of the dead weight at the pipe sides and above them contributed to the peak resistance. It was also found that the peak resistance of the proposed method can be predicted to some extent by modifying the previously proposed equation.Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Jun. 2024, Transportation Infrastructure Geotechnology, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- It is difficult to backfill and compact the narrow space in the bottom side of the pipe and ensure sufficient quality. Insufficient backfilling may cause unexpected deformation and stress concentration in the pipe. In this study, a method of installing EPS as a pipe foundation was proposed, and its effectiveness was examined through a model experiment using 300 polyethylene pipes. The results showed that, when EPS is installed, depending on its geometry, slightly larger strains may occur at the bottom of the pipe or at the contact point between the pipe and EPS, but these strains are significantly smaller than the strain concentrations caused by insufficient backfilling and are not large enough to cause pipe failure, indicating the effectiveness of the EPS as a pipe foundation.Japan Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society, Oct. 2022, Geosynthetics Engineering Journal, 37, 85 - 92, Japanese

- It has been reported that a buried flexible pipe excessively deformed due to the sheet-pile extraction after backfilling. Many studies have been conducted on the design method in consideration of the influence of sheet-pile extraction. However, studies for the aim of establishing methods of reducing pipe deformation are scarce. In this study, a sheet pile pullout tests were conducted to verify the effect of the backfill material integrated using geogrids to prevent the horizontal earth pressure from rapid decreasing, thus suppressing the pipe deformation during sheet-pile extraction. In addition, the separate integration of the base and upper area of the pipe was more effective in suppressing pipe deformation.Japan Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society, Oct. 2021, Geosynthetics Engineering Journal, 36, 37 - 44, Japanese
- Sheet pile construction has often been adopted for installations of pipelines in cases such as limited worksites or high ground water level. However, the sheet-pile extraction is likely to cause significant damage to buried flexible pipe. In the Japanese current design standard for irrigation pipeline, the influence of the sheet-pile extraction is empirically considered only by reducing the coefficient of subgrade reaction e´0. Thus, the difference in construction conditions is not accurately reflected in the design. In this study, the model tests on the sheet-pile extraction were conducted under the difference conditions of breadth of sheet-pile, using the flexible pipe in which the 20 biaxial load cells were installed circumferentially. As a result, the significant decrease in the earth pressure acting on the pipe and most of the pipe deformation occurred before the lower end of sheet-pile was extracted to the top of pipe. In addition, the wider the breadth between sheet-piles in this study was, the smaller the pipe deflection was, because the reduction of horizontal earth pressure was suppressed and vertical one was decreased.The Japanese Society of Irrigation, Drainage and Rural Engineering, 2021, Transactions of The Japanese Society of Irrigation, Drainage and Rural Engineering, 89(2) (2), I_379 - I_386, Japanese

- Recently, trenchless rehabilitation methods for aging irrigation pipes are often used. In this method, a new pipe is inserted into an aging pipe. Therefore, the rehabilitated pipeline consists of the outer aging pipe and the inner rehabilitated pipe. However, the mechanical influences of the damaged outer pipes on the inner rehabilitated pipes are not clear. In the present study, in order to reveal the influences, model experiments were conducted under the different damage levels of the aging pipe and loading positions. Experimental results indicate that the deflection of the rehabilitated pipe increases according to the damage level of the aging pipe. In addition, the strain concentration occurs at the top and the bottom of the rehabilitated pipe due to the point contact of the edge of the aging pipe. It is also found that the deflection and the strain distribution of the rehabilitated pipe under the eccentric load are significantly affected by the damage level of the aging pipe.The Japanese Society of Irrigation, Drainage and Rural Engineering, 2014, Journal of the Agricultural Engineering Society, Japan, 82(3) (3), 157 - 163, Japanese

- In order to clarify the behavior of buried pipe on the non-uniform bedding, experiments and 3-dimentional finite element analyses were conducted. By removing the soil from the valves of the bottom of test pit after backfilling uniformly, loose area was made in the ground. In the analysis, different input parameters made it possible to simulate the non-uniform ground. The pipe behavior was monitored at the three cross sections. Two sections are surrounded by the loosened ground locally. Another is between former two sections. From the results, it was clear that circumferential tensile strain acted on the part of the pipe by local swelling at the sections surrounded by the loosened ground. On the other hand, even circumferential tensile strain did not act but maximum shear strain increased at the middle section because of a kind of twisting force.Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2013, Journal of Japan Society of Civil Engineers, Ser.
