FIELD EXPERIMENT OF THE PROTECTIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE FACILITY AGAINST TSUNAMI-DRIFTED BODIES IN SUSAKI PORT

Abstract

  In tsunami disaster, not only direct damages by run-up wave but also indirect damages like collision caused by drifted bodies such as boats, automobiles, containers, lumbers, etc. may occur. It is important to set up the facility against drifted lumbers to reduce damages.
  In this study, we conducted the field experiments and the numerical calculations in order to investigate the characteristics of the protective performance of the facility for collision lumbers.
  As the result of the field experiments and the numerical calculations, we come to the conclusion that it was necessary to review K-value in the equation of Ellinas and the elastic coefficient of wire-rope.
