地震時の人体被災度計測手法の開発 ―胸部圧迫実験用ダミーの作製―

抄録

The immediate victims of the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake included 5,502 dead and 41,527 wounded. The death rate among victims in collapsed buildings was purported to be as high as 90%. However, we have no way to examine how the victim got dead or wounded, except for autopsy and interview with the bereaved. We need knowledge in detail about what part of building or furniture caused casualty and how it was occurred. Therfore, we aimed to make a dummy to measure human body damage due to collapsed buildings or toppled furniture. This dummy will be used in large-scale fracture tests of buildings to evaluate human body damage due to earthquakes.
