Evaluation of faults stability due to passing seismic waves: Study case of groundwater level changes induced by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Central Japan

In the study, we analyze changes in groundwater pressure observed in several boreholes drilled in and around the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) induced by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (Mw 9.0).The aim of this project is a development of methodology to evaluate systematic fault activity by numerical analysis.To

A New Ocean Rock Mass Rating and Its Application to Determine the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of an Offshore Wind Monopile Foundation

Offshore wind power is a new trend in renewable energy development.However, during the operation of offshore wind turbines, the rock-socketed monopile foundation is subjected to long-term cyclic loads, which will cause the seawater to erode the rock around the monopile foundation and reduce the ultimate end-bearing capacity.There is no suitable roc
