... ABSTRACT: Based on extensive field investigation and instrumentation, the characteristics of deformation and failure of underground roadways within soft rocks in collieries are formulated and presented graphically and quantitatively in this paper with a particular weight being placed...

... of great importance. Therefore this paper shows the results of the field study on the characteristics concerning air tightness of unlined storage caverns in a sedimentary rock test site near the sea. In the field a 600-meter deep borehole in 76mm-diameter was drilled and the hydrogeological characteristics...

... when those soils have poor geotechnical characteristics and the urban area in question is, for instance, a historical centre of a large city. It is thus natural that ever since a greater attention have been focused on the development of procedures allowing the prediction of ground movements associated...

... ABSTRACT: Compacted bentonite and compacted sand-bentonite mixture are attracting greater attention as buffer materials for disposal pits in the underground facilities for repositories of high-level nuclear waste. Buffer materials must have swelling characteristics and are expected to fill up...

... for extracting organic compound sorbed on soils. Sorption characteristics of soils and organic compounds were analyzed. Desorption tests were performed by successive reverse isotherm (SRI) tests to select effective surfactants. As a result of the sorption isotherm tests, a log-log linear relation was obtained...

It presents a summary of the study with respect to geological characteristics, geotechnical investigation, earthquake climate...

... and the characteristic of stone is very unique. Especially granite has been most frequently used. Understanding the characteristic of stone is important for conservation. Weathering is one of the most important characteristics of stone. As a result of weathering, the color of stone is changed or the physical property...

... of liquefaction. First, amplitude characteristics of strong ground motion records were investigated. Time histories of ratio of vertical ground acceleration to the horizontal one was calculated from response acceleration records at ground surface in liquefied and non-liquefied areas. If the ratio of vertical...
