Case histories of earth reinforcement technique in Japan

The soil reinforcement technique has been used in Japan for almost 40 years. The earth reinforcement technique has come to be used for various applications to reinforce soil in this period. The economical efficiency of the earth reinforcement structure has been evaluated in recent years, and the earthquake resistance was proved when the Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred in 1995. Many earth reinforcement techniques have been introduced as an indicator of the road earthwork in Japan today. This paper describes the kinds of earth reinforcement application that have been used in Japan, the case history, and the statistical analysis. For the covering abstract see ITRD E125786.
