kn-title=Reliability-based design for earth-fill dams against severe natural disaster events

kn-abstract=The maintenance of geotechnical structures, such as earth-fill dams, is required as a countermeasure against severe natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and heavy rains. The reliability-based analysis introduced here is in response to the recent demand for low-cost improvements.First, a statistical model of N values was determined from Swedish weight sounding (SWS) tests to present the spatial variability of the soil strength. Then, a reliability-based analysis of embankments was conducted by considering the variability of the internal friction angle derived from N value, and the seismic hazard for the Nankai Trough. The next step was to evaluate the probability of the overflow of earth-fills during heavy rains. The rainfall intensity was considered as a probabilistic parameter, and the various rainfall patterns were tested by the proposed method. Finally, the total risk due to both earthquakes and heavy rains was evaluated for an earth-fill site. As a result, the possibility for the practical use of the proposed method in making plans for the maintenance of deteriorated earth-fill dams was verified.

kn-abstract= In this decade, 3-dimensional topographic survey has been developed by using the UAV as like drones. With the technique, the complete topographies of the geo-structures can be measured. Although the accurate shapes of the geo-structures can be obtained, the numerical methods as like the finite element method is are not related to the 3-dimensional survey directly. In this research, the finite mesh modelling technique with use of the 3-D topographic survey is developed. The models of the earth-fill embankments formed from measured 3-D data are introduced as the examples.
