STATE OF EARTH STRUCTURES BETWEEN OKAYAMA AND HAKATA OF SAN-YO SHINKANSEN

The soil engineering problems of the San-yo extension of the Shinkansen are discussed. From its opening, the earthworks on this line were systematically studied with settlement and stability carefully checked. While high-speed trains use the line, in-service settlement of the embankments proved to be small. Embankments which had been reinforced and stabilized with netting proved to be sufficiently compacted. Also described are the residual settlement of embankments on soft subsurface and the prevention of mudpumping in cuts.
