Abstract
The objective of this paper is to measure risk evaluation characteristics on the amount of loss and occurrence frequency, for seismic design of port facilities against earthquake risk. First, economic evaluation method on seismic design for port facilities considering freight transportation cost is developed. Then, risk evaluation characteristics are measured, for seismic design of container berth with gravity type quay-walls in Japan, resulted that evaluation characteristics on occurrence frequency is similar to the results in our past studies against other disaster risk, but that evaluation characteristics on amount of loss is different especially when large amount of loss happen.
