Abstract

Lowland area in Tokyo subsided due to abstraction from about 1930 to 1970. Now, a wide area of 124 km2 is below sea level. Earthquake-triggered flood in the lowland area during earthquakes is seriously concerned. Possibility of the damage was discussed based on the analyses for the deformation of river dikes. Analyzed results showed that the dikes settle dozens of cm and causes flood during strong shaking. © 2008 Science Press Beijing and Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation.
