In this report, results of field survey for tsunami-damaged reinforced concrete (RC) buildings are explained. The survey was carried out to study validity of an index to help building owners to judge the building shall be demolished or restored. The index describes the relative inundation heights, which is defined as the highest number of inundated stories divided by number of stories of building. From the results of the survey, it is found that the index will be helpful for the restoration/demolish judgement of tsunami-damaged RC buildings.
