Abstract

The Great Hanshin earthquake occurred on January 17th, 1995. Structures of 27 fishing ports were damaged. This paper presents the results of investigation of damages of the ports and liquefaction analysis of Kariya fishing port and Tarumi sea pasture as a representative. Damage characteristics were examined as the damage pattern of structure's type, direction dependence of damage compared with the main earthquake motion. Comparative study of liquefaction between one dimendional and two dimendional analysis was carried out.
