| Summary | Japan has invested heavily for the expansion of sewer network since the 1960's. Although entire network installation has not completed, aging problems are appearing for the early laid sewers. As a result, annual road cave-in caused by sewer reached to more than 4,000 cases in recent years. Our research developed the methodology for appropriate sewer management by analyzing characteristics of sewer failure. |
