Characteristics of tuff breccia-andesite in diverse mechanisms of landslides in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan
Heavy rainfall frequently occurred in Kyushu and triggers the landslides every year. This study observes the landslides which occurred in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. The landslides in this study, consisting of the same soil materials, tuff breccia and andesite materials; however, the landslide mechanisms were different. Two landslides occurred caused by heavy rainfall in the different timing of the landslide occurrence, and another landslide occurred without the heavy rainfall or an earthquake occurs. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the physical and mechanical properties of tuff breccia and andesite materials with diverse landslide mechanisms. This study performed soil stratigraphic analysis and soil hardness measurements in the field, and performed physical properties, saturated permeability, mechanical properties, and XRD tests in the laboratory. This study found that characteristics of tuff breccia and andesite in diverse mechanisms of landslides were not very different, especially on the landslides caused by heavy rainfall. Furthermore, the landslide in the andesite and tuff breccia areas could be divided into three types based on the timing of the landslide occurrence, scale of the landslide, and landslide mechanisms.
