Summer poetic charm in Kochi "YOSAKOI"
2nd IPA Press-in Seminar in Kochi was held at a conference hall in Kochi. We invited five lecturers including three geotechnical specialists, who are Prof. Malcolm Bolton from University of Cambridge, Prof. Koichi Maekawa and Dr Kohei Nagai from The University of Tokyo, Mr Yasumasa Kimura and Mr Yukihiro Ishihara from Giken Seisakusho Co., Ltd.
Prof. Bolton introduced the results of measurement over 110 locations of major 9 cities worldwide and explicated the theory that the ground strength plays a more important role to construct a stable retaining wall than the strength of the wall itself. It suggests the effectiveness of the pressed-in tubular sheet pile walls for deep excavations.
Next, Prof. Maekawa presented his research of numerical analysis about interaction between a pressed-in pile and ground and Dr Nagai introduced the simulation to visualize the underground phenomena two-dimensionally.
Mr Ishihara explained the accomplishments of Cambridge-Giken research collaboration and Mr Kimura introduced the worldwide achievements of remarkable railway projects by the Press-in Method.
Successfully, 125 people enjoyed the seminar, who include Japanese prominent researchers, the press and IPA members. As it was held in Kochi where the press-in technology was born, Mr Kitamura, IPA Honorary President gave an opening remark, ”I hope Kochi will become the centre of the press-in technology in the world”.
After active exchange of views, attendees moved to the welcome party and still kept discussion with delicious Kochi dishes and sakes. It was a quite significant seminar to show the steady progress of the unique industry-university cooperation for the Press-in Engineering.
