| Summary | Highway bridges were damaged due to tsunami in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Accordingly, it is important to develop design tsunami force and safety evaluation criteria is one of the important problems. Thus, NILIM has studied such design norms seeking relationships between tsunami forces acting on the highway bridges and observed extents of damage using numerical tsunami simulation. |
