Those structures are<br>still active not only as roads and waterways, but also are designated as cultural properties, and in some places,<br>they also play an important role as a tourism resource for the region. However, the current situation is that<br>countermeasures against disasters are delayed like the damage of Kumamoto Castle due to the 2016<br>Kumamoto Earthquake. In particular, it is considered that it is important to elucidate the earthquake disaster<br>mechanism by the interaction between the ground and the stone wall.</p> <p>In this research, the tendency of the damage of stone walls and earth structures will be clarified based on<br>the survey team of the Geotechnical Engineering Society and the Kumamoto Castle Research Center, and it<br>is discussed on the mechanism of collapse occurrence by estimating the geological structure under the several<br>sites in Kumamoto Castle by surface wave profiling method and so on.</p>}, number={45}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Satoshi Sugimoto and Minoru Yamanaka and Yuuya Katsuda}, year={2018}, month={May}, pages={66–72} }
