THE TABLE FOR ESTIMATION CUTTING SLOPE AND RESTRICTION ON TRAIN OPERATION UPON A RAINFALL. CASE OF KYUSHU DISTRICT

This paper describes the cut slope failures along lines of the JNR in the Kyushu district and a scoring process on which the safety of such slopes may be estimated. The influence of prevailing rainfall is used in calculating the coefficient of survival. The level of train operations and amount of precipitation are correlated into six groups for the scoring process. A quantification theory was used for calculating the intensity of rainfall.
