- The risk assessment of liquefaction damage is crucial for recovery from large-scale earthquakes, which are predicted to occur in recent years. In this study, the liquefaction risk is evaluated over a wide area through effective stress analysis, considering the interaction between the soil particles and pore water. The target area of the analysis was the 23 wards of Tokyo, including the zero-meter zone, and a 3D ground model was constructed from the borehole data. A vertical columnar ground model is established at 463 locations from the 3D ground model using the material parameter determination flow. The liquefaction risk of a wide area is evaluated by performing seismic response analysis using two types of earthquake motions for each analysis point, thus showing the difference in the risk and degree of liquefaction by location. In the future, various dynamic analyses must be conducted with sufficient resolution and compared with the actual damages.GEOMATE INT SOC, Oct. 2021, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOMATE, 21(86) (86), 48 - 54, EnglishScientific journal
- Recently, the occurrence of large earthquakes has become a concern in Japan, prompting the need for a numerical method that can accurately predict real phenomena, such as the elastoplastic soil-water coupled finite element method. Because the elastoplastic constitutive model requires many material parameters, various soil tests and specialized knowledge are needed to determine these material parameters. In this study, a new method was proposed to determine the material parameters from the limited ground information obtained by borehole inspections and the method was validated by comparing the numerical results with monitored seismic behavior. One-dimensional seismic analyses were conducted using the material parameters estimated from borehole data near the target sites. It was confirmed that the amplitude and predominant period obtained by numerical simulation were consistent with the monitored data. As a result, it was found that the dynamic numerical result was more consistent with the monitored data when the compression index was set to be larger than that in the static analysis.International Journal of Geomate, Sep. 2021, International Journal of GEOMATE, 21(85) (85), 1 - 9, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The migration of contaminant through soil is usually modeled using the advection-dispersion equation and assumes that the porous media is stationary without introducing a constitutive equation to represent soil structure. Consequently, time-dependent deformation induced by soil consolidation or physical remediation is not considered, despite the need to consider these variables during planning for the remediation of contaminated ground, the prediction of contaminated groundwater movement, and the design of engineered landfills. This study focuses on the numerical modeling of solute transfer during consolidation as a first step to resolve some of these issues. We combine a coupling theory-based mass conservation law for soil-fluid-solute phases with finite element modeling to simulate solute transfer during deformation and groundwater convection. We also assessed the sensitivity of solute transfer to the initial boundary conditions. The modeling shows the migration of solute toward the ground surface as a result of ground settlement and the dissipation of excess pore water pressure. The form of solute transport is dependent on the ground conditions, including factors such as the loading schedule, contamination depth, and water content. The results indicate that an understanding of the interaction between coupling phases is essential in predicting solute transfer in ground deformation and could provide an appropriate approach to ground management for soil remediation.WILEY, Jul. 2018, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, 42(10) (10), 1172 - 1196, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Currently, finite element codes for small-strain have been widely applied in geotechnical engineering problems. However, the limitations of these codes are recognized, especially when the strain is large. To overthrow such limitations, finite-strain finite element code for porous media is needed. Therefore, this study aims to implement the finite element code for coupled solid-fluid at finite strain for static and dynamic problems. Firstly, the governing equation for porous media at finite-strain was introduced. Then, the mixed formulation of both phases with respect to the reference coordinates by deriving the governing equations with respect to the reference or current coordinates and by considering the solid and fluid as separate, was given. At present, the code is developed only for elastic regime as its preliminary step. In this study, the proposed code has been verified with the static and dynamic problem. And, the result of the finite-strain finite element code is then compared with the result of the analytical solution and small-strain finite element code within the small-strain regime. Thereafter, the proposed code was used to estimate the response of the earthen dam when subjected to a dynamic load. Finally, the results, discussion, and comparison between small- and finite-strain finite element analyses were presented.GEOMATE International Society, 2018, International Journal of GEOMATE, 15(51) (51), 1 - 8, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- In view of the need to utilize ocean space and to develop seabed resources, the assessment of the stability of deep seabed soil has emerged as an important challenge in the field of geomechanics. To study seabed stability, the strength and stiffness of the natural ground must be ascertained. Accordingly, it is necessary either to conduct laboratory testing on soil specimens sampled from the seabed or to estimate the strength and stiffness by in-situ tests. While in the future it may be reasonable to conduct in-situ tests to estimate the stiffness and strength of seabed soil, it will still be necessary to compare the physical properties measured by in-situ testing with those measured by laboratory testing in advance of these determinations. In short, soil specimens must be sampled from the actual deep seabed, and laboratory mechanical tests must be conducted on the sampled soil specimens. However, soil sampled from the ocean bottom is subject to effects that differ from those exerted on soil sampled from the earth. More specifically, the non-negligible effects of disturbance are expected with soil sampled from the ocean bottom. The effects of disturbance occur during the sampling process due to the vaporization of dissolved gases, as these soil specimens are under relatively higher pressure and contain pore water with a high amount of dissolved gases. Therefore, numerical simulations were conducted in the present study to investigate the effects of vaporized dissolved gases on the mechanical behavior of soil specimens during sampling and on the undrained shear strength as determined by laboratory tests. The analyses revealed that the combination of the decreasing effective stress caused by the sampling and factors such as overconsolidation and unsaturation is attributable to the difference between the soil strength ascertained by laboratory testing and the in-situ soil strength.Japanese Geotechnical Society, 2018, Soils and Foundations, Vol.58(No.3) (No.3), pp.689 - 701, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- In the present study, the end bearing capacity of screw and straight pipe pile under similar pile tip area and ground conditions were investigated. The effect of increasing overburden pressure was also considered in this research. Pile load tests on close-ended screw and straight pipe piles were conducted in the small scale. Dry Toyoura sand was used to develop the model ground. The sand was compacted at relative density of 70, 80 and 92 %. It was observed that in case of straight pipe pile, load settlement curve plunges downward without increase in load around settlement equals to 10 % of pile tip diameter, whereas in case of screw pile, the load settlement curve plunges around settlement equals to 15 % of pile tip diameter. Moreover, the screw piles having helix-to-shaft diameter ratio 2-4.1 showed 2-12 times higher end bearing capacity than straight pipe piles with similar pile shaft diameter. It was also observed from the test results that the end bearing capacity of single-helix screw pile was in average 16.25 % less than straight pipe pile with similar pile tip area and ground conditions irrespective of the effect of increasing overburden pressure.SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, Apr. 2017, ACTA GEOTECHNICA, 12(2) (2), 415 - 428, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Bentonite has remarkable swelling characteristics and low permeability that enhance the stability of the buffer materials in repositories for the geological disposal of radioactive waste. It is necessary to apply reliable numerical simulation techniques to assess the safety and mechanical stability of repositories over a long period of time. Having a constitutive model that can describe the mechanical behavior of bentonite is key to such numerical simulations. This paper proposes an elasto-plastic constitutive model to describe the changes in the mechanical properties of bentonite due to saturation in the progress of a repository becoming submerged under groundwater. In the proposed model, the swelling index is formulated as a function of the degree-of-saturation to express not only the swelling behavior, but also the dependency of the degree-of-saturation on the dilatancy characteristics. The montmorillonite content is used as a material parameter to determine the normal consolidation line. The experimental results of swelling volume and swelling pressure tests in previous literature are shown to have been satisfactorily predicted by the proposed model.

- A new method, the confined-reinforced earth (CRE) method, has been suggested to strengthen the subgrade layer, at the bottom of road pavement. The method uses granular soil, geogrids and confining tie rods. It is intended to reduce the damage from the large differential settlement between bridges or culverts and their approaches due to major earthquakes, and to make it possible for vehicles, especially emergency vehicles to pass the resulting unevenness. This study presents model tests designed to investigate the effects of the length of confined-reinforced earth by examining how lateral boundary conditions affect the consequences of differential settlement. Tests with two lateral boundary conditions, i.e. fixed-fixed (both ends of the geogrids are laterally fixed) and fixed-free (one end of the geogrid is laterally fixed and the other end is free) of the CRE method were performed and the effect of differential settlement was compared. The results show that the lateral boundary condition significantly affects the CRE behavior and the deformation in the fixed-fixed boundary condition is smaller than that in the fixed-free boundary condition.GEOMATE International Society, 2017, International Journal of GEOMATE, 13(38) (38), 149 - 156, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Unsaturated soils are most common in geotechnical practice. In order to study mechanical behavior of unsaturated soil a series of constant water content tests were performed in this study. Soil specimens were tested under isotropic loading-unloading, monotonic and cyclic loading sequences to study the effects of stress history on change in void ratio and suction, and on shear characteristics of unsaturated soil. It was concluded that the mechanical behavior of silty soil named as DL clay is not affected significantly by loading sequences incorporated.IOS PRESS, 2015, DEFORMATION CHARACTERISTICS OF GEOMATERIALS, 6, 267 - 274, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings

- Load settlement behavior, bearing capacity improvement and surface deformation characteristics of geogrid reinforced soil were investigated through experimental study. Rigid circular steel plate was used as a model footing. In model experiments, it included one unreinforced test and four reinforced tests; one with triangular geogrid and three with biaxial geogrids. Test results show that triangular geogrid reinforcement outperforms biaxial geogrids of almost same unit weight. For biaxial geogrids, larger bearing capacity improvement was noticed with geogrid of higher tensile strength. Uniform surface deformation was observed with no reinforcement and triangular geogrid reinforcement, while higher non uniformity was observed with stiffer biaxial geogrid reinforcements.Japan Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society, 2015, ジオシンセティックス論文集, 30, 37 - 42, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Large earthquakes often lead to large differential settlement between bridges and their approaches. In some of these cases, emergency vehicles cannot pass the unevenness after earthquakes. In order to mitigate this problem, confinedreinforced earth (CRE) method was introduced in subgrade layer, at the bottom of pavement layer of road structures. Some laboratory prototype scale model test with various prestress in geogrid layers were carried out to investigate the effects of prestress on deformation of confined-reinforced layer due to differential settlement. The levels of prestress is applied via prestrain set as 0%, 0.016%, 0.05% and 0.1% in elongation. The results show that the prestress in geogrid plays an important role in reduction of differential settlement between bridges and their approaches.Japan Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society, 2015, ジオシンセティックス論文集, 30, 31 - 36, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Estimation of reinforcement mechanism according to the subgrade arrangementA confined-reinforced earth method for a subgrade is one of the proposed methods to mitigate unevenness of road surface. It is expected to ensure emergency vehicles going through the road even just after an earthquake. A reinforced subgrade consists of granular materials, geogrids and steel confining rods. Construction of this layer beneath the asphalt pavement is expected to prevent unevenness even if the road embankments settle due to earthquake. A series of laboratory model tests was performed to investigate the reinforcement mechanism by changing a thickness of the composite layer and introducing pre-stress into confining steel rods. In the model tests, to simulate the settlement, one end of the model of a composite layer in a soil tank was raised by a crane and the other end was fixed at the bottom of the container. It was found that a thickness had a strong influence on the transmission of force in a composite layer and that sufficient thickness of the composite layer was needed to distribute the weight to geogrid layers in a reinforced subgrade efficiently. Stretched geogrids were thought to play an important role in confining the dilation of granular soil layer and reducing the shear deformation of soil layer.2014, 13) Tachibana, S., Kuwano, J., Tatta, S. and Ishigaki, T.International conference proceedings
- The East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami caused serious damages in the coastal area of eastern Japan. Many houses and cars on the road were swept away by the tsunami. Also, industrial facilities such as chemical plants in the coastal area were completely destroyed. Damage from saline seawater was not limited only to the rice field areas, and there were also serious anxieties regarding the possibility of ground contamination as a result of harmful heavy metals that leaked from destroyed chemical plants. In light of this scenario, we carried out a quantitative survey to examine these areas. This paper reports on the results of our survey. It was found that high salt concentrations were detected on the ground surface but predictions state that these concentrations can be diluted with rainfall. It was also revealed that serious ground contamination due to the harmful heavy metals was not detected.2014, Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Japan, 62, 141 - 148, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- In the confined-reinforced earth method, a composite layer which has a high stiffness is constructed in the subgrade to support the pavement. This layer consists of granular materials, geogrids and confining members. Compacted granular materials are reinforced between some geogrids and are further confined by some members. Construction of this layer beneath the asphalt pavement is expected to prevent unevenness even if the road embankments settle due to earthquake. In this study, a series of model tests was performed for the purpose of investigating the reinforcement effects against different designs such as a layer thickness and an introduction of pre-stress in the confining members.Japan Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society, 2013, Proceedings of geosynthetics symposium, 28, 59 - 66, Japanese[Refereed]Symposium
- To predict the mechanical behavior of granular materials, the importance of the noncoaxiality that is, the noncoincidence of the principal directions of inelastic stretching and those of stress, has been recognized in the geotechnical field. In this study, the deformation characteristics during shearing under the effective mean stress constant and the intermediate principal stress coefficient constant conditions are examined by the elasto-plastic constitutive model in comparison with experimental results on Toyoura sand. In constitutive modeling, the anisotropy in the loading surface and the effect of stress rate tangent to loading surface, both of which cause noncoaxiality, are taken into consideration.Springer Netherlands, 2013, Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering, 25, 181 - 198, English[Refereed]In book
- Soil liquefaction is a devastating geotechnical phenomenon associated with earthquakes that causes failure of foundations, soil embankments and dams, especially in cities built on young alluvial deposits. Therefore, the ability to predict liquefaction potential is important and valuable for seismic hazard assessment The conventional approach to evaluating liquefaction potential at any given point is through the use of borehole data. The liquefaction potentials within sedimentary basins vary over short distances with local soil properties. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate liquefaction potentials at unsampled locations where borehole data are not available based on the measured liquefaction potentials at selected borehole locations. The application and the importance of the geostatistical analytical technique (kriging method) for the estimation of liquefaction potential at unsampled locations are shown. The data set consists of liquefaction potential values measured at 86 randomly distributed boreholes in Saitama City, Japan. With the use of calculated liquefaction potentials at sampled locations, the experimental semivariograms were constructed. The experimental variogram characterizes the spatial variability of the calculated liquefaction potential. To interpolate the liquefaction potential over the entire area, the ordinary kriging spherical model was applied. In applying the kriging method, both isotropic and anisotropic models were used; however, the anisotropic model exhibited a better fit for interpolating sedimentary deposits. The interpolated liquefaction potentials are validated with the measured liquefaction potentials of an independently collected second set of 41 boreholes. The interpolated liquefaction potentials show strong concurrence with the measured values. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

- © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013. An elasto-plastic constitutive model for unsaturated soils is improved to realize numerical stability of computations at the singular point on the yield surface and an accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of overconsolidated (or elastic state) soils in this chapter. The authors introduce the exponential contractancy model (EC model) by Ohno et al.

(J JSCE 63(4):1132–1141, 2007). The applicability of the constitutive model is verified by simulating triaxial shear tests under constant net stress undrained conditions.2013, Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering, 25, 215 - 228[Refereed]In book
- The role of unsaturated geomechanics in desertification due to salt damageDesertification poses a serious problem to the global environment. A reported 7.2% of the world's land area is affected by desertification, with 35.8% of this figure located in Asia. Major causes of desertification include excessive deforestation, overgrazing of cattle and damage due to salt, all of which are the results of water cycle disorders relating to the geosphere and atmosphere. Through hierarchization (structurization) analysis, this paper discusses the issue of desertification as it pertains to issues threatening the health of the global environment. The key issues to be taken into consideration with regard to desertification have been extracted and examined from a geotechnical viewpoint. The authors focus on the role that geotechnical engineering can play in the prevention of desertification and in its restoration process. The paper highlights a northeastern area of Thailand where salt damage is likely to result in desertification. In order to numerically simulate what is happening there, a set of mathematical models based on unsaturated geomechanics is formulated, taking into account key issues revealed through a hierarchization analysis. The paper also includes a discussion on the applicability of these models for addressing the salt damage problem affecting this northeastern part of Thailand. The importance of unsaturated geomechanics is demonstrated in this paper, particularly as it pertains to prevention and restoration of salt-damaged areas that finally lead to desertification. © 2012 IEEE.Mar. 2012, Proc. 5th Asia-Pacific Conference on Unsaturated Soils (AP-UNSAT2011), pp.31-44, 30 - 43, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings

- Elasto-plastic constitutive model for expansive soils with a concept of fully saturation curveThis study presents a new constitutive model for expansive soils. Under any arbitrary state of degree-of-saturation, the mechanical void ratio predicted by the elasto-plastic constitutive models, i.e. EC model and Se-hardening model are combined with the additional void ratio in order to characterize the typical swelling behavior of expansive soil. Herein, the fully saturation curve which derived from compaction and consolidation experimental tests are taken into consideration. The proposed model is examined by simulating the typical experimental test on expansive soil, i.e. normally consolidation and swelling pressure tests. © 2012 IEEE.2012, 5th Asia-Pacific Conference on Unsaturated Soils 2012, 1, 303 - 308, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings
- Mathematical model of soil/water/air coupled problem for unsaturated soils considering mass transfer within pore-waterSoil contamination caused by industrial activity has become a serious environmental problem causing ground deterioration. Since soil decontamination is expensive and its efficiency is difficult to estimate, the contaminated ground areas are often abandoned without purification. To encourage the reuse of land, the methods for predicting contaminant transfer, induced by changes in external forces and water levels are required. In this study, the mass transport equation was applied to the existing unsaturated soil/water/air coupled F. E. analysis code for expressing the advection and dispersion behavior of dissolved material within pore-water. First, the continuity condition equations and advection-dispersion equations were developed from mass conservation laws of soil, water and dissolved materials. These governing equations, including the constitutive model for unsaturated soil, were formulated as initial and boundary values problems and coded as DACSAR-Mad. Assuming the ground to be polluted, the effect of external forces on the ground surface was simulated. It was found that the external forces contribute to mass transfer. This analysis code is effective in describing the complications of the mass transfer problem including the effects of external force and water level. © 2012 IEEE.2012, Proc. 5th Asia-Pacific Conf. on Unsaturated Soils, 1, 267 - 272[Refereed]International conference proceedings

- Desertification due to salt damage has recently become a serious problem throughout the world. Salt damage is a phenomenon where salt in the groundwater gets concentrated at the ground surface and kills vegetation. In this study salt damage due to disequilibrium of water balance was simulated with unsaturated soil/water coupled simulation code, as applied the material transport equation. Evaporation and precipitation cycles were applied to a model of ground that contained salty groundwater in its deep region. This allowed the successful reproduction of the phenomenon of salt accumulation on the ground surface. Additionally, identical climatic conditions were applied to model grounds consisting of two types of soil, different in terms of their soil-water retention characteristics. It was found that two methods of overlay and insertion of a layer of coarse-grade material, known as 'mulching', are effective in the prevention of salt accumulation. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London.Dec. 2011, Unsaturated Soils - Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils, 2, 1133 - 1139International conference proceedings
- It is difficult to estimate the current stress state of existing embankments because of their inherent sloping geometric shapes. Therefore an elastic analysis is always carried out in advance and the calculated stress state, assumed as the current stress, is used as an input parameter in the deformation analysis of an embankment. However, the stress state of a banking material can be quite complicated since banking materials are elasto-plastic and unsaturated in most cases, and, their behavior strongly depends on the stress history. In this study, the banking process is simulated with an elasto-plastic constitutive model for unsaturated soil. Specifically, the effects of banking speed and initial suction within the banking material are considered. It is found that the post-banking stress state depends on the distribution of the initial suction due to soil-water retention characteristics. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London.Dec. 2011, Unsaturated Soils - Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils, 2, 1337 - 1342
- Although compacted soil is widely used for constructing earth structures, the mechanism of compaction has not been explained using principles of soil mechanics. Therefore, designing and constructing such structures depend on empirical methods. In this study, we considered compaction as un-drained compression of unsaturated soil, and have simulated the compaction process using principles of unsaturated soil/water coupling problem. The constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. (2007) and the soil-water retention characteristic curve model proposed by Kawai et al. (2000) were used for these simulations. When compared with static compaction tests performed by Kawai et al. (2003), the simulation results showed good agreement. Consequently, the shape of the observed compaction curve could be explained. The results achieved in this study can be applied to construction management on geotechnical engineering sites. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, London.Dec. 2011, Unsaturated Soils - Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils, 2, 965 - 971

- In order to investigate the deformation characteristics under a wide selection of stress history, ten series of stress probing tests on p′-constant shear stress plane on dense Toyoura sand are conducted by using hollow cylinder apparatus. This paper presents yielding behavior and non-coaxiality of Toyoura sand obtained from the tests. The stress probing tests consist of ten series of shearing tests each of which starts from systematically chosen individual initial stress point. Each initial stress point is subjected to load-unload stress history. The yielding characteristic is interpreted by means of a concept of multiple yield surfaces model which has three yield surfaces representing linearly elastic behavior limit, commencement point of rapid development in plastic strain and elasto-plastic range. As a result, an experimental evidence of the isotropic hardening, i.e., isotropic expansion of yield surface, induced by anisotropic loadings is obtained. This is what was tacitly assumed in the application of plastic flow rules. However, misalignment of directions between principal stress and principal plastic strain increment is observed. Moreover, plastic strain increment direction is found to be influenced by the given stress increment direction. These facts suggest the non-coaxiality between stress and plastic strain increment due to shear stress increment, even during monotonic loading with isotropic hardening. The plastic strain increment direction diverges from the normal direction to a surface which is a circle with its center nearly at the origin on p′-constant plane and which passes through the current stress point.Feb. 2011, Soils and Foundations, 51(1) (1), 179 - 190, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Due to its low permeability and excellent expansion characteristics, bentonite is an excellent candidate with potential use as a buffer in the disposal of nuclear waste. Its expansion characteristics, activated by wetting, can be interpreted based on the full saturation line, depicted as a unique line on the density and the confining pressure relationship as proposed by Kobayashi et al. (2007). In addition, its elasto-plastic constitutive relation can also be formulated by introducing additional irreversible strain component describing the expansion of the montmorillonite present in the bentonite material. A constitutive model can consistently express the mechanical behavior of the compacted bentonite material from the unsaturated to the fully saturated state. This paper describes the density homogenization process that was conducted through a series of soil-water coupled elasto-plastic finite element simulations. Specifically, bentonite specimens, with different initial densities, were permeated with a constant water head. Stresses and strains developing in bentonite, particularly the density change, were carefully examined. A series of numerical simulations, performed on the two specimens, showed that specimens did not homogenize to a unique value of density upon reaching the fully saturated state. To confirm the simulation results, we carried out a series of experiments. The experimental results also support our simulation results.

- This study presents an evaluation of soil-geogrid interaction mechanisms. Pullout tests were carried out on different types of geogrid to evaluate the effects of transverse ribs and dilatancy characteristics of sand around the geogrid during unload-reload processes. The interaction was observed using particle image velocimetry and analyzed using a spatial discretization scheme in the finite element method to understand the dilatancy mechanism and the shear strain distribution. © 2010 Thomas Telford Ltd.2010, Geosynthetics International, 17(4) (4), 249 - 249, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- The soil-geogrid interaction process was analyzed by the Particle Image Velocimetry furthermore spatial discretization scheme in finite element method to understand about the dilatancy mechanism and shear strain distribution during unloading-reloading process. In this test the geogrid was pushed back and forth at three stages of pullout test: before peak, at peak and at residual part to simulate the seismic activities. Results showed that the shear strain concentrated in front of transverse ribs and upper apart of pullout box. The dilative behavior appears in front of transverse ribs and contractive behavior exits at behind of these bars. The alternative soil dilatancy-contraction distribution in between the two transverse ribs can be seen throughout the length of geogrid.Japan Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society, 2009, ジオシンセティックス論文集, 24, 69 - 74, English[Refereed]Symposium
- It is empirical knowledge that vegetation can influence the behavior of earth structure. It prevents surface failure and erosion due to rain and wind, and contributes to the stability of earth structure. Moreover, it encourages water circulation with transpiration, fixes atmospheric nitrogen and carbon via photosynthesis, and improves the environment. Therefore, surface seeding is purposely performed when an earth structure, such as an embankment or an earth dam, is constructed. Typically, vegetation grows on unsaturated soil. Consequently, a constitutive model for unsaturated soil is needed for understanding the effects of vegetation on the ground. In this study, we focus on the effect of vegetation-induced water uptake. The effect of water uptake due to evapo-transpiration can be regarded as reduction of water content within soil and appropriately represented in simulation studies. The constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. (2007) is used for the simulation. In this model, the effective degree of saturation is treated as a parameter expressing hardening/softening. Moreover, the 'root element,' where the reduction of water content occurs, is applied to the soil/water coupled analysis with unsaturated soil mechanics. To verify the applicability of this model, the accident in Poland where non-uniform settlement and building damage were caused by water uptake of vegetation was simulated. The results show that water uptake increased suction and induced non-uniform settlement. This method is effective for understanding the effects of vegetation on the ground. © 2009 IOS Press.2009, Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering: The Academia and Practice of Geotechnical Engineering, 1, 526 - 529, English[Refereed]International conference proceedings

- Many of earth structures on the ground keep stability in unsaturated state. Moreover, these structures are exposed to drying and wetting conditions and changes in soil moisture always occur. Therefore, the constitutive model with unsaturated soil mechanics is needed for predicting the elasto-plastic behavior of the earth structures for a long term. The objective of this study is developing soil/water coupled F. E. analysis with unsaturated soil mechanics. In this study, the constitutive model proposed by Ohno et al. is used. Their model can express typical behavior of unsaturated soil, such as shrinkage on drying process, collapse on wetting process, and the effects of hysteresis on soil-water retention characteristic curve, and have the flexibility for dependencies on soil properties. Moreover, isoparametric element is applied on spatial discretization to preventing the dependency on mesh, which can be seen in the Akai and Tamura's method. This simulation method allows us precise prediction of the behavior of unsaturated earth structures.Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2008, Journal of applied mechanics, 11(11) (11), 331 - 338, Japanese
- Empirically, it is known that the vegetation influences on the earth structure. Kawai et al. focused on the effects of water uptake induced by the vegetation. They regarded it as an effect of decreasing soil moisture and applied the effect to unsaturated soil/water coupled F. E. analysis. In this study, the soil/water coupled F. E. analysis code is rearranged with the constitutive model for unsaturated soil proposed by Ohno et al.. In their model, the effective degree of saturation are applied as a parameter expressing stiffness of unsaturated soil to enable application of unsaturated soil mechanics to actual problem in geotechnical engineering site. To verify the applicability of soil/water coupled analysis, the accident that the vegetation uptake work brought about the non-uniform settlement of the ground and damaged the building in Poland are simulated. Consequently, it was found that the uptake increased suction and encouraged non-uniform settlement of ground surface. Its effects appeared prominently in a dry ground having low groundwater level and much uptake. This method is effective to understand the effects of vegetation.Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2008, Journal of applied mechanics, 11(11) (11), 443 - 450, Japanese

- It is known that the vegetation is effective in preventing slope failure. In this study, we focus on the vegetation uptake from ground and show the way to estimate its effects on the ground quantitatively. The effect of uptake can be regarded as reduction of water content within soil. The ‘root element’, where the reduction of water content occurs, is applied to the existing code of soil/water coupled finite element analysis with unsaturated soil mechanics. To estimate the effects of uptake, three kinds of conditions, such as the amount of uptake water, the initial degree of saturation of the ground, and groundwater level are provided. Consequently, it was found that the uptake increased suction and encouraged non-uniform settlement of ground surface. Its effects appeared prominently in a dry ground having low groundwater level and much uptake. This method is effective to understand the effects of vegetation.Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2007, Journal of Applied Mechanics, JSCE, 10(10) (10), 375 - 381, Japanese[Refereed]
- To predict the long term elasto-plastic behavior of unsaturated earth structures, the constitutive model, which can express the following typical behavior of unsaturated soil, is needed. One is shrinkage and stiffness increase due to suction increase, second one is collapse with stiffness decrease due to suction decrease, and the last one is the influences of suction history relating to the hysteresis of soil-water retention characteristics. In this study, a constitutive model of unsaturated soil applied the effective degree of saturation as parameter expressing stiffness was proposed. The model showed good agreement with the experimental results and the appropriateness of the model was demonstrated.Japan Society of Civil Engineers, 2007, Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshuu C, 63(4) (4), 1132 - 1141, Japanese[Refereed]

- This paper reports the investigation of ground contamination resulting from Tsunami due to the Great East Japan Earthquake. We visited sites at suburbs of Sendai and Ishinomaki and took soil samples at the sites to analyse heavy metal contamination. Herein, the sites st suburbs of Sendai were chosen as a typical area where any industrial facilities did not exit and the sites at Ishinomaki as a typical area where many industrial facilities were destroyed due to the Tsunami. As conclusion, heavy metal contamination were not found resulting from destroyed industrial facilities but contaminated soils that had been settled under the sea were brought by Tsunami and covers the sites at Ishinomaki.National Committee for IUTAM, 2013, NCTAM papers, National Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Japan, 62(0) (0), 110 - 110, Japanese

- Settlement of highway embankment during constructionThe purpose of this study is to estimate settlement of highway embankment during construction and compare it with the field data measured at the 90 m high embankment of the second Tomei Express way in Shizuoka. The mechanical characteristics have been briefly modeled referring to the results of one-dimensional compression tests on materials which are used in constructed embankment. Then, the amount of settlement of the embankment is estimated considering the effects of degree of compaction. It is found that the settlement at the center of the embankment can be estimated properly even by the simple method of one-dimensional calculation.埼玉大学総合研究機構地域オープンイノベーションセンター, 2008, Report of Comprehensive Open Innovation Center, Saitama University, (1) (1), 141 - 143, Japanese

- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 基盤研究(B), 埼玉大学, 2013 - 2015アジア・エジプト地域の、土中水分変動による遺跡構造物の変形解析と修復技術研究歴史的遺産は、大地震や大降雨などの自然災害に耐えて数百年以上残ってきたことから、遺跡の置かれた地域の環境に良く適合した技術を伝えている。いわば長期的に見てレジリエントな技術を伝えている意味で工学的にも貴重である。しかしながら、近年世界で急速に遺跡の劣化・崩壊が進んでいる。その原因の一つが、基礎地盤内の水分変動による地盤変形と塩類風化の促進である。これらは、とくに①乾季と雨季が繰り返し、雨季には地表が水浸する事もある東南アジア地域と、②最近の灌漑により地下水位の上昇が顕著なエジプトなどの乾燥地域で顕著である。本研究の目的は、これら両地域の代表的な遺跡構造物の地中水分変動による劣化・崩壊を地盤工学の最新知見により解明し、合理性の高い遺跡修復・保全技術を開発する事である。なお、本研究の進展により、横須賀ドライドックなどの明治初期の構造物を対象として、構造物変形モニタリング技術の開発も行う。 本年度は最終年度として、昨年度までの2年間の研究成果を踏まえ、次のような研究計画を立てた。エジプトでの研究は政変による社会混乱と治安悪化のため、現地での研究は差し控え、共同研究者であるメノウファイア大学理学部のGamal Kamh教授を招聘することによる連携研究とし、国内において昨年度持ち帰った塩類試料の分析を中心に実施することとした。タイ・アユタヤ遺跡において一昨年度取得したWat Yai Chai Mongkhon寺院とWat Langkha Khao寺院のストゥーパの3次元図と比較しうる2年経過後の3次元図を取得し、これらを比較することによって、変形モニタリングが可能かを詳細に検討することとした。また変形が明瞭に示された場合、その要因としての遺跡直下の地盤構造を把握するために、表面波探査の適用を検討した。 タイでの調査は、2015年11月に開催予定のISEEE(International Symposium on Engineering, Energy and Environment)に合わせて実施する予定であったが、研究代表者の急逝により頓挫した。研究代表者の意思を貫くためにも、別途予算を得て最後まで成果を出したいと考えている。

In order to evaluate effects of soil grains escaping from the specimen, a special permeability test was conducted. When hydraulic gradient exceeded certain value, fine particles started to flow out of the specimen. Turbidity of the drained water can indicate the degree of currently progressing internal erosion. Even small degree of internal erosion caused significant decrease in penetration resistance.
