Abstract

<p>A large sinkhole occurred in Miyakonojo, Miyazaki on Sept. 19, 2016 due to a typhoon which hit the area, leading to soil outflow covering the road nearby. Although the interchange was stopped temporarily, no human casualties occurred in this accident. This accident was a fortunate case, but sinkholes may lead to serious casualties depending on time and place. Therefore it is important to investigate the cause and take measures to prevent these accidents beforehand. Surveys including dynamic cone penetration tests and surface wave surveys were conducted to understand the cavities and loosening underground of the accident site.</p>
