It is a great pleasure for me to extend my cordial New Year greetingsand best wishes to the JSCE members and to the members of the JSCE
International Sections in particular. On this occasion I, as JSCE
Representative to ACECC (Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council),would like to introduce yon the activities of ACECC and the contribution of
JSCE to ACECC.
Based on the success of the 1st International Civil Engineering
Conference in Manila, in February 1998, PICE (Philippines), ASCE (USA),and JSCE had a series of meetings of discussion aiming at creating aninternational association to coordinate cooperation among civil engineeringsocieties/institutions in the Asian region. In September, 1999, ACECC wasestablished as a result of the discussion and the proposal by three societies,
and the initial members of ACECC were five societies/institutions including
KSCE (Korea) and CICHE (Taiwan) in addition to the three societies
mentioned above. After the creation of ACECC, Engineers Australia(formerly the Institution of Engineers, Australia), VIFCEA (Vietnam),
MACE (Mongolia), HAKI (Indonesian Society of Civil and StructuralEngineers) joined in ACECC and therefore nine societies/institutions are themembers of ACECC so far.
The Civil Engineering Conference in the Asian Region (CECAR)
which is one of the main activities of ACECC was held in a triennial basis
and the 2nd Conference (Tokyo) in April, 2001, the 3rd Conference (Seoul)in August, 2004, the 4th Conference (Taipei) in June 2007 were held
respectively following the 1st Conference in Manila, 1998. I believe manyof you participated in the 4th Taipei Conference where the special lectures,
forums and dozens of presentations were made and the “ACECC Taipei
Declaration on Sustainable Development” was adopted as a result of the
discussion by the presidents of member societies at the Asian Summit. In the
Taipei Conference, it was decided that the 5th CECAR would be held in
Sydney in 2010.

Huge markets have made Asia the fastest
growing economy in the world. On the othernatural resources and strains the environment
and ecosystem. In addition, Asia is one of themost vulnerable regions to damages caused bynatural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis,
typhoons, floods, landslides and volcano
eruptions, etc. With these facts, having
sustainable development in Asia is necessary.
The first objective of the ACECC
activities is defined as “to promote andadvance the science and practice of civilengineering and related professions forsustainable development in the Asian region”.
To respond to this objective, JSCE as one ofthe proposing societies for ACECC creation
will continue to play an active role in theoperation of ACECC and contribute to theassociation’s development focusing on theactivities described below towards the 5th
CECAR to be held in Sydney in 2010.
*Expand the ACECC membership;*Develop and introduce the Asian Code;*Develop civil engineering and technology
issues such as Natural Disaster Prevention
Technology, Preservation Technology for
Environment and R&D of Advanced
Technology; and*Implement the Asian Human Network
JSCE will act, with the cooperation of
its technical committees and the JSCE
international sections, to contribute to thesustainable development of the Asian region
through the ACECC activities.

It gives me a great pleasure to informyou that I am taking the chairmanship of the
Korea Section of JSCE.
The Korea Section of JSCE wasinaugurated in July 2000, and has been chairedby Mr. Hak-ju Hwang as the 1st president and
Mr. Kyung-boo Park as the 2nd and 3rdpresident. I was elected as the 4th president of
the Korea Section of JSCE on Sept. 1, 2007 at
the JSCE General Meeting.
The Korea Section of JSCE has
contributed to the technology exchange
between Korea and Japan by promoting visits
by Korean public officials and engineers
engaging in civil engineering services in Korea
to the construction sites and seminars in
relevant fields in Japan and other international
conferences on civil engineering technologies
in the Asian region.
Civil engineering technology of Japan
has been recognized as among the best in theworld, in spite of the difficult geologicalfeatures of the country, with its frequent
typhoons and earthquakes, and soft groundconditions. Given this situation, I believe JSCE
has rendered distinguished services to thedevelopment of the highest level of civilengineering technology. I feel greatly honored
to be chairman of the Korea Section of JSCE.
I had a conference with JSCE President
Ishii Yumio on November 30, regarding theadvertisement
andmemberincreasing
activities of the Korea Section, andcooperation among overseas branches of JSCE.

Greetings from President of
Korea Section, JSCE

Summary of the damage caused by
the July 16th, 2007, Niigata-ken
Chuetsu-Oki (Niigata Prefecture
Chuetsu Off-shore) Earthquake,Japanrailways. Landslide at the Oumigawa Train
Station on the Shin-etsu Line, located at thesouth of Kashiwazaki city, was one of thelargestlandslides.
Lateralspreading,liquefaction, and slope failures also occurred
extensively. A zone of lateral spreading, sandboils and settlements adjacent to Sabaishi
River was associated with a buried sanddeposit of a former channel. A failure of aroad occurred on the north of the river adjacentto the Kashiwazaki Municipal Incinerator.

JMA Seismic Intensity

An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8
on the JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency)
scale (6.6 on Richter scale) occurred on July
16th, 2007 in Chuetsu region, Niigata
prefecture, Japan. The epicenter was located
off shore of Kariwa village and Kashiwazakicity. Preliminary results of the source
inversions show a reverse fault and the rupture
propagated to North and South directions. The
JMA seismic intensity was 6+ (IX in MMI) in
Kariwa village, Kashiwazaki city and Nagaoka
city in Niigata prefecture, and Ohzuna town in
Nagano prefecture.
The quake caused the loss of 11 lives
and injured about 2,000 people. About 1,100
houses and building was subjected to heavy
damage, and about 3,800 houses and buildings
were moderately damaged in Niigata
prefecture.
Collapses
occurredalmostexclusively to old houses built of wood andclay walls and heavy kawara (clay-tile roof).

The lifeline utilities of gas, water andelectricity were also damaged. Power outrage
occurred at about 35,400 households right after
the quake, but the services were recovered
within a day in most of the epicentral areas.
The water and supply systems were also
damaged. The water suspension occurred atabout 61,500 households and stop of gas
supply at 35,150 households. The recovery
from water suspension was on August 4th andrecovery of gas stop on August 27th.
Kariwa village is home to the largest
nuclear power plant in the world with sevenreactors and a total output of 8,200 Megawatts.
Critical structures appeared to have performed
well given the intensity of the ground shaking,large ground settlements, and evidence ofliquefaction near the waterfront.

Report of International Cooperation
Committee of Civil Engineers
in the JSCE Shikoku Branch
The 9th Annual Forum titled“Construction Market in Asia and Obstacles
Facing Japanese Civil Engineers in Overseas
Activities” was held, chaired by Prof. A.
Mochizuki, Tokushima Univ., on the 28th ofNovember at Port Tower building in
Takamatsu
City,
KagawaPrefecture.
International Cooperation Committee wasestablished in 1998 under the leadership ofProf. Sadaji Ohkubo, Ehime Univ. in order topromote overseas activities for civil engineers
in the Shikoku area through studying theconstruction market and technical problems of
construction in foreign countries.
Although the main activity of thecommittee in the past nine years has been to
hold an annual forum with guest speakers who
have rich experience abroad through work in
the field of civil engineering, the committee
also has sent study groups overseas forlearning ongoing projects such as theconstruction site of the huge Three Gorges
Dam in China and the cities which were underdevelopment in Switzerland.
For the previous annual forum on theconstruction market in Asia and obstacles
facing Japanese Civil Engineers in overseas
activities, three guest speakers were invited:
Mr. Ranjan Kumar Dahal, Mr. Hiroshi
Ichikawa and Dr. Mitsuo Nozu. The first
speaker Mr. Ranjan Kumar Dahal, a lecturereof Tribhuvan University, Nepal who were
5

JSCE Newsletter No.23, January 2008

working in the doctoral program at Kagawa
University, delivered a lecture titled “Existing
condition of natural hazard in Nepal andexpecting support of civil engineers andengineering in Japan.” Mr. Dahal showed
several photos of disaster sites and talked
about the needs for both financial and technicalsupports from Japan and Japanese civilengineers. The second speaker was Mr. Hiroshi
Ichikawa
whois
workingasanadviser/consultant specializing in international
construction business. He delivered aninteresting presentation titled “Notes for oversea construction business for Japanese civilengineer,” which explained about themisunderstandings and faults Japaneseengineers often encountered in overseas
projects. The third speaker, Dr. Mitsuo Nozu,
who was working in the overseas construction
section of Fudo Tetra Co., talked about reports
on foreign construction projects in southeast
Asia, titled “Experiences of ground
improvement projects based on Japanesetechnology in overseas countries.”
Over 60 participants including student
members attended the forum and gained useful
information through presentations anddiscussions.
The committee is planning to have the10th anniversary symposium with a special
forum with guest speakers and panelists in
October 2008. The committee expects to havefruitful discussions with many participants.
Thank you.

Director on behalf of the JSCE members
expressed his thanks to the kind invitation andtalked about the ICE-JSCE relationship inthese years. Also he hoped that the relationshipwould be enhanced for mutual benefits. Afterthese speeches, each member introduced
themselves for thirty seconds in a lightflashing speed.
Then, Mr. D. Macintyre of ICE
proposed a toast to everyone’s health andhappiness in the coming year and the people
lifted their glass merrily. On the table werecolorful refreshments served: various kinds ofcheese and sandwiches placed beside wine andbeer added a British flavor to the festive
atmosphere. Many of the JSCE members had
had some experience of living in England sothat they could easily relate to each other andshare their memories.
Meanwhile, Prof. Burden talked about
the ICE Membership; the current membershipwas 82,000. It was interesting to learn about
the JSCE’s counterpart and its activities.
Two hours passed very quickly. All theguests there must have reminded themselves,“Time flies by when you are having a goodtime.” Before leaving the party, the people
took a group photo and promised to have suchgathering again.

Student Network-Voice from the Students“My impression about the subway
and high-speed train in Japan”

South Korea in term of. know-how ofdevelopment the latest technology.
I do hope that South Korea will havesome merits from Japanese experiences andtechnology in order to modernize thetransportation networks in South Korea in thenear future.

Name: Woo-Seok Shin
Country: South Korea
School: TOHOKU UNIVERSITY

It was in November 2005 when I left
South Korea for the first time in my life, andheaded to Japan, a country I knew very little
about, except that it is way ahead of the rest of
the world when it came to research in civilengineering. I had very little idea of what toexpect. I of course had some images ofJapanese comics, Samurai and many cities inJapan which were very crowded.
In my daily life in Japan I sometimes
use subway and high-speed train. Allow me toshare with you some of my impressions about
the differences in transportation between South
Korea and Japan.
First of all, the subway systems inJapan are located mostly in a city center where
they are very easy to access to and convenient
for users. Accidents at subway terminal havebecome a hot issue in South Korea recently.
Compared to South Korea, the Japanese
subway system and safety structural devices
that can prevent accidents beforehand seem to
be more prepared. The country seems to pay
more attentions to what so called: “safety first”
for all users.
Recently, a high-speed train from Seoul
to Busan has officially started and it takes
about 3 hours. This is one of the biggest
improvements of transportation technology inSouth Korea in the past few years. While thedevelopment of Shinkansen networks has
carried out continuously in Japan, I also haveheard that Japan is now developing a linear
Chuo Shinkansen project to connect Tokyo andOsaka by way of Nagoya, in approximately 1hour at a speed of 500km/h. That is extremely
rapid, and I do believe that making this thing
happen totally relies on the technology that has
been accumulated and developed in Japan formany years. For me, Japan is far ahead of
