Investigation efforts increased and experiments were repeated, and analysis became minute and acute. At the same time, in some cases, complicated and rather unpractical logics appeared in their opinions. Conception high, meaning obscure. In the geological field flow and emplacement mechanism of Ito pyroclastic flow of Aira caldera is reported and concerning the different pyroclastic flows in the Kokubu area and the neighbouring zone, some other members as S. Aramaki, R. Ota, and T. Tsuyuki publish their opinions. Tuffaceous and pumiceous sediments in Kakuto Basin were also investigated by some persons. Here they suffered from considerably big earthquake disasters of seismic intensity 5-6 in Feb. 1968. Many investigation data were obtained through these events. Formerly we had scarcely the data of Shirasu behaviour in seismic shock. These data well revealed a few secrets of Shirasu nature. The earthquake damages were found of various types as mountainside slip, crack and settlement of river banks, sand boiling, and destruction of structures &c. The auther picked up mainly Shirasu damage reports concerned. Shirasu in this environs is not original but there are Shirasu like sediments of tuffaceous materials and of Ito pumice flow poured into the past lake. They are weeker than usual Shirasu and this is the most reason that the damages, especially that of the mountainside were comparativly large for the seismic intensity. Cut cliffs were safer to the mountainside. As for the engineering department, studies on fill-up ground and reclamation works will become important, for seismic shock influece to disturbed Shirasu material is not made clear yet. The auther's rough introduction to the reports of Shirasu studies has now come to an end.}, pages = {43--60}, title = {シラスの土質力学的特性とその原因 : シラス防災の研究 第一部 その5}, volume = {19}, year = {1977} }
