"Utilizing 3D VR for Self-Environmental Assessment"
While
BIM and CIM is not too uncommon today for project designs, few has
attempted to use BIM and CIM to communicate with the local
residents and extract their opinions. In addition, most environmental
assessement works remain in 2D documents which lack information
transparency due to discrepancy in project or expertise knowledge.
Through
the use of 3D VR for simple self-assessements, Mr. Kasagi will
introuduce numerous examples of how these technologies can help
communicating a better environmental awareness and assist companies in
formulating business environmental strategies.

"From Railway Structure Design to Construction to Maintenance"
The history of Japanese railway industry dates back to 1872, making the
industry 143 years old in 2015. Main materials used to build railway structures
in the Meiji era were steel materials imported from abroad and domestic
bricks. Domestic steel structures and reinforced concrete structures built
then still remain as it is even after 90 years and will continue to be
used. On the other hand, a great number of the other structures built by
mass production system from the 1970s are starting to show signs of deformation.
The problem is especially apparent in structures built in times when technologies
could not keep up with the changes engineers kept on making to materials
used for construction as well as the construction method. Today, technologies
have advanced to the point that it is now possible to not only completely
recover these deformations found in railway structures build in those times,
but also formulate practical measures to maintain and protect recently
built structures, which is something top companies in the industry have
been doing and making significant progress. However, the fact remains that
there are quite a large number of existing structures that have defects,
hence the need to perform appropriate inspections and to take proactive
counter measures in order to save these infrastructures for future generation.
When a defect in a structure is detected, it is as important to execute
direct and tentative measures as it is to take appropriate measures for
new structures and existing similiar structures. |

"Water diaster risk analysis and strategies to building a flood proof
city"
Hydraulic and
hydrology models for the analysis of inundation caused by river
overflow into the wetlands due to heavy rain have not only helped
produce hazard maps that address the expected extent of inundation but
also made remarkable contribution to the development of measures to be
taken in an event of a disaster such as identifying evacuation routes.
In today's Japanese society with an aging population, a long term
strategy for building a flood proof city based on the idea of
consolidating the whole town in an area with a relatively low
risk of flood hazards becomes a must. A brief lecture on the current
risk assessment methods, technical issues that must be solved before
gathering and analyzing key information required during disasters
attributing to heavy rainfall, and social and economical issues that
need to be sorted out to pave way for building such a city will be
given. |
|
|
|
| Took his current position after years of experience as a professor in the
Graduate School of Nagoya University. While devoting himself to numerous
research on hydrological phenomenon often seen in basins and environmental
impacts on rivers and floodplains due to heavy rain, he finds an opportunity
to engage in a proactive research on water diasters to find ways to prevent
them during his own investation on the 2000 torrential rainfall that struck
the Tokai region in Japan. |

"Case studies of 2D modeling via xpswmm"
Application of 2D model for rainwater flow over the surface of an architectural design in xpswmm will be introduced. A number of trial calculations were performed via simulation of runoff and the course of that water over an irregular shaped roof top using xpswmm 2D model to validate such design on many aspects including the ability to drain rainwater effectively. Important points to consider when building a model of such roof including drawing Fill Areas and the effect of changing triangular mesh sizes will be shared with a number of issues to be solved. |

"The latest case studies of flood simulation model xpswmm 2015 and
future development plan for XP2DFV"
xpswmm is a complete stormwater, seweer, and floodplain model for a fully
dynamic hydraulic and hydrologic modelling. It combines 1D calculations
for upstream to downstream flow with 2D overland flow calculations for
an accurate prediction of the extent of inundation on floodplains in the
event of flood or other catastrophic events. The lecture will cover the
application of radar rainfall estimate localized torrential downpour in
xpswmm, a new layer called Sewersheds which has been added to xpswmm2015,
and xp 2D FV(Finite Volume), a whole new 2D hydrodynamic model implemented
in xpswmm which solves the full 2D de Saint Venant equations (also known
as the Shallow Water Equations, SWEs) using a first-order finite volume
solution technique, with wetting and drying for complex topography. |
