AI Article Synopsis
- Slope failures during or right after slope-cutting can lead to serious accidents, prompting this study to examine labor accidents linked to these failures in Japan.
- The study advocates for a slope guideline by the MHLW to prevent such accidents and includes a case study showcasing its application during slope-cutting and nailing for improved safety.
- Monitoring methods are suggested to understand slope deformation better, while a checklist within the guideline allows for quick assessments and collaborative problem-solving among clients, designers, and contractors.
Article Abstract
Slope failure during or immediately after slope-cutting can cause fatal accidents. This study analyses the characteristics of labour accidents caused by slope failure during slope-cutting in Japan and presents a countermeasure to prevent accidents caused by slope failure, such as the implementation of a slope guideline by MHLW. A case history conducted during slope-cutting and nailing was presented as an example of the application of the slope guideline to ensure safety. Furthermore, monitoring methods were implemented to gain a quantitative understanding of slope deformation. Geological conditions other than those assumed prior to excavation and small collapses attributed to groundwater are indications of landslide risk. The guideline's quick checklist reflects the slope condition or deformation, allowing the client, designer and contractor to discuss and agree on a quick solution to a problem. The case study confirmed the effectiveness of the slope guideline as a tool for sharing information during construction.
