ABSTRACT

The three-dimensional subsurface structure model around Kansai International Airport (KIX) has been developed based on the geologically and geotechnical investigated results of a large amount of borehole data for estimation of subsidence. The model consists of the alternation of marine clay and coarse deposits. The stratigraphy of the model was renewed by KIX18-1, which was about 1300m long drilling core and was drilled near the 2nd runway of KIX. In this study, the model of sparse borehole data region was revised by integrated borehole data and seismic profiles to incorporate complex warping structure and heterogenic lateral variation. The renewed model is available for detailed subsidence and water pressure dissipation analysis, which require large
computational region around KIX.
