[Construction Case] Solcomat Method Butt Reinforcement Method <Example of Typhoon No. 19 in Reiwa Year 1>

We propose a method for reinforcing river levees as a crisis management hard measure! Case study from Typhoon No. 19.

We would like to introduce a case where the effectiveness of crisis management-type hard measures for levee toe reinforcement was confirmed. In the Arakawa River system, at a location where crisis management-type hard measures were implemented due to Typhoon No. 19, overflow occurred (with a water depth of about 25 cm during the overflow), but there was a case where the levee did not breach. The "Solcomat toe reinforcement method" proposed by our company can be used for crisis management-type hard measures. 【Proposed Construction Method】 ■ Solcomat Toe Reinforcement Method - Extends the time until river levee destruction during overflow at a water depth of 20 cm - Highly effective in reducing the depth of scour directly beneath the levee foundation - This content has been reported at the Soil Mechanics Society research presentation *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
