Experimental Study of Aseismic Retrofitting Method for Abutments by Linking Abutments to Soil-Mixed Column-Walls

<b>Recent Research and Development about Disaster Prevention Technology</b>

“…This makes it possible to prevent girders from falling, leading to probable early recovery. The robustness evaluation includes whether or not it is provided with rail buckling prevention measures [3] (Fig. 7), which are intended to prevent buckling of rails by constructing improved colonnade ground members at the joint between abutment and embankment (a weak point against earthquakes).…”
