Description

The faulting process and subsurface deformation as well as the complicated underground structure of the Niigata area in relation to ground motion were explained, which was followed by an explanation of the importance of the following items. - Understanding geological history to construct the current geological structure, - Construction of an integrated ground model by geophysical exploration; topographical, geological, and morphological data; and boring data, and - Confirmation of model validation by simulation.
