◆ Numerical simulation for cost effective solution of slope stability problems

Numerical simulation techniques can quantitatively assess effectiveness of various prevention measures for slope stability problems such as landslides, rock fall, and debris flow. We believe numerical simulation will provide you economical and reliable solution together with conventional engineering techniques.

  • Analysis of debris flow disaster

    There still remains the threat of debris flow disaster not only in Japan, but also abroad because of heavy rainfall due to a global warming and the development of land use. The various simulations technique (with the hydraulic experiments) make it possible to estimate a debris flow disaster and to evaluate the plan of countermeasures.

  • Analysis of embankment failure during earthquake

  • Simulation of reinforcement structures and ground water for economical and reliable design

    Three dimensional Finite Element Analysis (FEM) of soil and reinforcement structures will help identify effective locations for reinforcement installation and also determine economical design specifications.

    ◆ DEM

    DEM can simulate dynamic rock failure behavior to help improve risk management by identifying hazard zones and planning optimum types of prevention structures.

    ◆ FEM

    Finite element analysis of ground water and drainage systems can be applied together with conventional empirical methods to optimize landslide prevention measures.

  • Analysis of tunnel and underground cavern

    Finite element analysis of ground water and drainage systems can be applied together with conventional empirical methods to optimize landslide prevention measures.
