Abstract

This paper describes the engineering performances of Suiken Dike certified as a heritage site by Wakayama Prefecture. The dike was constructed by using excellent construction techniques in Edo period. Especially, the main part of the dike is covered with many rectangular solid stones like a stone wall of a Japanese castle. The soil part is attached with the stone part. However, a functional role of this composite structure is unknown. We carried out the FEM analyses to study interactive effects between these two parts against wave forces as a coastal dike. A Tsunami wave force and a violent wave force due to a typhoon were used as an external force. It was clarified that the soil part effectively functioned to restrain the stone part rotating to the back side.
