STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF EMBANKMENT SLOPES DESTROYED IN TOKACHIOKI EARTHQUAKE

The Tokachioki earthquake, which occurred on 16 May 1968, caused considerable damage to the earth structures on the Tohoku Line, and the failed section represented 29% of the total length (67 km) of the existing and newly constructed lines. This report relates to the discriminant analysis carried out on the damage of embankment slopes on the basis of the Survey Report of the failed embankments, in particular, those between Hachinohe and Noheji. The essential tool of the analysis is linear discriminant functions derived from the quantification theory.
