Summary Due to the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami, coastal facilities along the Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures are severely damaged. After the Tsunami, the objective for tsunami protection/meditation is required to specify in accordance with the scale and frequency of occurrence, and two level of tsunami (frequently occurring tsunami and largest possible tsunami) are basically assumed for design. In this study, the methodology of earthquake-resistant and anti-tsunami design for coastal facilities were developed against largest possible tsunami.
