Diagnosis of Embankment Damage - 3D Visualization by Seismic Tomography -


Abstract
Maintenance of superannuated structures is becoming an important social subject. It is also the case for embankments constructed in the past public works for control of soil erosion and/or debris-slide, for which efficient strategy and methodology to realize preferential maintenance for pressing structures should be studied. Especially methods for diagnosis of internal damages are to be newly developed, because the internal damages are not detectable by the conventional external inspection. Experimental work through 3D visualization by Seismic Tomography was, hence, attempted for a concrete embankment, as a work for development of methods for internal diagnosis.
