Geo-disaster prevention and mitigation
Recently many geo-disasters (such as landslide, slope collapse and liquefaction) have been occurred by torrential rainfall and earthquakes. This seminar focuses on the mechanism of geo-disasters caused by torrential rainfall and earthquake and their structural and non-structural countermeasures. Students are expected to solve one the problems related geo-disaster prevention and mitigation using computer simulations, field measurement/monitoring and in-situ/laboratory experiments. Students are also expected write academic papers and make a presentation at the international/domestic conferences
